The property (P)(\mathcal P) conjecture for the digits of Pi and the Euler constant

Let m2m\ge 2 be an integer, and consider the digits in basis mm of the fractional part of either Pi or the Euler constant. Denote by (P)(\mathcal P) the large-deviation property defined earlier in the paper for such digit sequences. The property (P)(\mathcal P) conjecture. For every integer m2m\ge 2, the digits of the fractional part of either Pi or the Euler constant in basis mm satisfy (P)(\mathcal P). This would provide a concrete large-deviation property for the digit sequences of these important constants and contribute to understanding their randomness in arbitrary integer bases. The source does not give a resolution of the conjecture.
