How does the same idea encode a long number with a 00–99 PAO?
Chunk the digits into groups of six: the first 2 digits give the Person, the next 2 the Action, the next 2 the Object.
* A number PAO reads six digits as one scene: 15/27/38 become Person/Action/Object. *
A number PAO reads six digits at a time. For 152 738 …, using this system's own pair list:
15→ its Person → Wilhelm Tell27→ its Action → freaking out (Nicolas Cage's move)38→ its Object → a black poodle (Mephistopheles' prop)
→ one composite image: Wilhelm Tell freaking out with a black poodle — a single scene encoding all six digits, placed at one locus. The next six digits become the next composite. This is how competitors store hundreds of digits with a manageable number of images and loci.
