Existence of a highly normal number that is not KL-stochastic

About 3 years old · traced to

A real number xx is highly normal if it is weakly ff-normal for every computable function ff. A real number is KL-stochastic if it satisfies the corresponding Kolmogorov–Loveland stochasticity condition.

Existence conjecture. There is a highly normal number that is not KL-stochastic.

The paper has established that highly normal numbers are closed under complements and that some highly normal numbers are not supernormal. The separation between high normality and KL-stochasticity is left as an open problem.
