The interval in ℕ composed of finite states of the stream version of asymmetric binary systems (ABS) is irreducible if it admits an irreducible finite-state Markov chain. We say that the stream version of ABS is irreducible if its interval is irreducible. Duda gave a necessary condition for the interval to be irreducible. For a probability vector (p,1-p), we assume that p is irrational. Then, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the interval to be irreducible. The obtained conditions imply that, for a sufficiently small ε, if p∈(1/2,1/2+ε), then the stream version of ABS could not be practically irreducible.
