It certainly excludes 0.111... from being a single line
of the list.
So the question is now
Can a potentially infinite list
of potentially infinite 0/1
sequences have the property that
if s is a potentially infinite 0/1
sequence, then there is a line, g, of L
with the property that every
initial segment of s is contained in g
?
