The uniform-distribution conjecture for bases with four zeros in their Pisano period

Let Φβk(n)\Phi_{\beta^k}(n) denote the relevant base-βk\beta^k digit sequence associated with the Fibonacci concatenation, and let ω(β)\omega(\beta) be the number of zeros in one Pisano period of β\beta.

Uniform-distribution conjecture. For every base β\beta with ω(β)=4\omega(\beta)=4, there exists a KK such that, for all kKk\geq K, the digits in the sequences (Φβk(n))nN\left(\Phi_{\beta^k}(n)\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} are uniformly distributed.

The claim is motivated by computational and heuristic evidence, including the verified normality of the Fibonacci concatenation in base 55, but remains open for the stated family of bases.
