This will focus only on the 3s and 4s you see in the corners and the 1 in the center. Now in the image below you see those marked by $0. This is telling you this a Topology and Combinatorix problem, not a simple statistics problem. For any set of 196 digits there are very few ways to combine numbers to achieve a similar Topology. 3-1-4 shows the combination is meaningful but it could be any meaningful combination with the same symmetries, for example $0-$0-$0. 314 just becomes more meaningful later in the analysis because this is in the first 200 digits of Pi. Now a simple Bayesian calculation would ask what are the odds of finding a string (because of the geometric pattern they can be counted as one string) of five $0-$0-$0-$0-$0 in a string of 196 random digits which is about 1 in 10,000. Interesting but not impressive, could be pareidolia. The catch is because they are in a Topologically constrained structure it's a unit distance problem with limited Degrees of Freedom (DoF) not...
