COMMENTS
No pattern in this sequence has ever been observed, according to Finch.
In the first 49,999,999 terms, 1 occurs four times, 36.9% of the terms are 2, and some terms have not occurred. - Jud McCranie, Mar 02 2012
Even though some values seem to get larger as the sequence grows, it appears that the combined frequency of the values 2 and 3 approaches 50%. This shows up even in the first 10000 terms (combined frequency: 49.9%). - Enrique Navarrete, May 08 2017
