   Hi,   
      
   The fact that such sequences exist means that   
   the collection of all computable real numbers   
   does not satisfy the least upper bound principle   
   of real analysis, even when considering   
   only computable sequences.   
      
   A common way to resolve this difficulty is to   
   consider only sequences that are accompanied   
   by a modulus of convergence; no Specker   
   sequence has a computable modulus   
   of convergence.   
      
   A Specker sequence. The nth digit of xk is 4 if   
   n ≤ k and the nth Turing machine in a computable   
   Gödel numbering halts on input n after k steps;   
   otherwise it is 3.
