They aren't permutations. They're just sticking a 0 or 1 on the end. One copy

Then I assume the next step would be making two copies of each of those:
000 000 001 001 010 010 011 011 100 100 101 101 110 110 111 111
...and sticking a 0 or 1 at the end:
0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111
and this is the binary sequence of length 4.
How do these translate into ordinary numerals? 1,2,3,4...
