A disjunctive sequence over a finite alphabet is an infinite sequence in which each finite string over appears as a substring. For instance, the binary Champernowne sequence

formed by concatenating all finite, binary strings in lexicographic order, is clearly disjunctive.

Any normal sequence is disjunctive, but the converse is not true. For example, consider the disjunctive sequence

obtained by splicing exponentially long strings of 0's into a lexicographic ordering of all finite, binary strings. Most of this sequence consists of long runs of 0's, and so it is not normal.
