Historically there has been a paucity of explicitly constructive methods to produce, and
particularly to delineate, broad classes of `certifiably random` infinite sequences, despite
longstanding interest in this endeavor. We address this topic via the study of (binary) normal
numbers, which have often been viewed as reasonable proxies for randomness, given their limiting
equidistribution of...
