...I continue to assert the Champernowne binary constant cannot be successfully concatenated to a readable character representation of Shakespeare.

Then you haven't understood the proof behind Champernowne's number.

Any finite segment of Chaitin's Omega is in the sequence.

Thank you for your post!

Any finite segment of Chaitin's Omega is in the sequence.

A finite segment of a few digits, sure. A finite segment of 1,000 digits, not likely. The entire Omega, no.

Likewise, a word or phrase out of Shakespeare, sure. An entire act, not likely. The entire manuscript, no.

The bottom line to me is that Champernowne’s binary constant produces in such a distinctive pattern, it cannot overcome, by 8 bit alphanumeric ASCII concatenation, unreadable characters.
