Comments

Decimal expansion of the length/width ratio of a sqrt(20)-extension rectangle. See A188640 for definitions of shape and r-extension rectangle.

A sqrt(20)-extension rectangle matches the continued fraction [4,1,2,5,1,1,4,1,2,24,1,2,...] for the shape L/W=sqrt(5)+sqrt(6). This is analogous to the matching of a golden rectangle to the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. Specifically, for the sqrt(20)-extension rectangle, 4 squares are removed first, then 1 square, then 2 squares, then 5 squares,..., so that the original rectangle of shape sqrt(5)+sqrt(6) is partitioned into an infinite collection of squares.
