Yes, I realise that, nevertheless, if my argument in post 20 is sound, I think normality would be a problem for some non-repeating, non-terminating numbers. I suspect the problem with my argument is premise 4, that only finite sequences appear in the expansion, whereas the power set of aleph zero includes infinite sequences. However, I dont see why the expansion can not contain sequences of length (cardinality) aleph zero(?)
Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
