Jan 21, 2022 at 16:14 comment added Dave L Renfro I didn't notice until seeing Emil Jeřábek's and Wojowu's comments (just now) that you are incorrectly defining what "normal numbers" are. To follow-up on their comments, for more about this larger collection of numbers see this 19 February 2003 sci.math post and this 5 January 2012 MSE answer and this 9 April 2018 MSE answer.
Jan 21, 2022 at 11:14 comment added Wojowu Apparently numbers in which every sequence appears are called disjunctive or rish in the given base.
Jan 21, 2022 at 11:13 comment added Emil Jeřábek This is nonstandard terminology. Usually, a number is normal to base $b$ if any string $w\in\{0,\dots,b-1\}^n$ appears in the base-$b$ expansion of the number with asymptotic density $b^{-n}$; this is much stronger than the mere fact that each string appears in the expansion.
Jan 21, 2022 at 11:12 comment added Wojowu The answer, with references, is on Wikipedia.
Jan 21, 2022 at 10:42 comment added Dave L Renfro See my 5 July 2002 sci.math post Numbers normal to one base but not to another base. (Note: In that post I seem to have reversed the definitions of multiplicatively dependent and multiplicatively independent.)
