A347198 Consider the sequence of binary words of integers, LSB to MSB S(k) = ( 0; 1; 01; 11; 001; 101; 011; ... ). Start with a(0) = 0, extend this sequence with the minimum number of [0;1] such that it contains S(1) then S(2) and so forth, as sub-strings with LSB at any a(n). We extend the sequence as much as required to include S(k) first, in the next step we extend until it includes S(k+1) too. 1

%N Consider the sequence of binary words of integers, LSB to MSB S(k) = ( 0; 1; 01; 11; 001; 101; 011; ... ). Start with a(0) = 0, extend this sequence with the minimum number of [0;1] such that it contains S(1) then S(2) and so forth, as sub-strings with LSB at any a(n).

%C It appears that in the long term the mean of this sequence is 1/2.

%C This sequence is disjunctive but not normal. This means every finite string appears as a substring. But not each string of equal length appears with equal frequency. Compare to A076478 which is known to be disjunctive and normal.

%C An interesting problem: If we choose an interval a(0);...;a(n) such that this subsequence contains all binary words of 0;1;2;...;k for given k, for which k will this subsequence have the shortest possible length required to obtain this property. Trivial examples would be n = 1 (k = 2): 01 -> 0;1;01 and n = 2 (k = 3): 011 -> 0;1;01;11. This would require n <= floor(log_2(A056744(k)) + 1).
