COMMENTS
If Pi is normal then every possible string of 0's and 1's will appear in this sequence. - Joshua Oliver, Nov 27 2019
The condition of normality is much stronger than required for this result, which is already a consequence of the digit sequence being disjunctive. But even that is much stronger than required, because it would mean that any binary string appears as a substring in the (decimal!) digits of Pi, not just as a subsequence, which is all that is required for any binary string to appear here (where all digits > 1 are deleted), even infinitely often. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 04 2026

EXAMPLE
From Felix Fröhlich, Nov 27 2019: (Start)
The first of the following lines shows the decimal expansion of Pi and the second the expansion with all digits except 0 and 1 omitted, thus giving the terms of the sequence:
