PI isn't random. It is exactly the ratio of a radius and the circumference of the circle.
Incommutability is not the same thing as 'random'. PI does not follow any sort of probability or statistical algorithm to be generated. Nothing inside PI is random...
Now... if you take a random number (introducing randomness in the first place) representing the position and another random number to represent the length. From PI those two random numbers will generated a random sequence. But the 'randomness' is not IN PI, the random elements are only in the 2 chosen numbers. I understand this is colloquially what people mean when they say PI is 'random'...
Randomness can only come about from choice, and the digits of PI have no choice as to what they will be. You can not read out a deterministic sequence of numbers in order and expect randomness. The randomness must come from some choice interacting with that defined sequence of numbers.
