Thanks to all who replied. Thanks to your instruction, it now is clear
to me that, in an infinite series of random characters, every
conceivable sequence MUST occur. These sequences must, of course, obey
the requirement that all

To be able to say that a process will be random at infinite time
would seem to
imply a deterministic process that can generate non determinism. :)
That deterministic process might be the construction of
this true random number generator:

All arrangemets are equally likely, but the probability is, of course,
zero
