An irrational number is called "normal" if all the digits to the right of the decimal follow a uniform distribution regardless of base system.

A more human friendly way to say that is this if you pick a random digit to the right of the decimal, you have no idea what you'll get.

A more poetic way to say that is this: If you assign letters to various number sequences, an irrational normal contains all the works of literature mankind will ever create, if you know where to look,

So, for a given language conversion system, shouldn't there be a non-normal number that contains all the works of literature in chronological order, then just repeats "balls balls balls" over and over again?

The balls constants

Please don't let me be entirely wrong, ye gods of balls and math.
