Comments

Image of 0 under repeated application of the morphism phi = {2i -> 2i,2i+1; 2i+1 -> 2i+2: i = 0,1,2,3,...}. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 30 2017

This sequence has some interesting fractal properties (plot it!).

First occurrence of k=0,1,2,... is at 0,1,2,4,7,12,20,33,54, ..., A000071(k+1): Fibonacci numbers - 1. - Robert G. Wilson v, Apr 25 2006

Read mod 2 gives the Fibonacci word A003849. The differences, halved, give A213911.

Example

14 = 13+1 as a sum of Fibonacci numbers = 100001(in Fibonacci base) using the least number of 1's (Zeckendorf Rep): it consists of 3 runs: one 1, four 0's, one 1, so a(14)=3.
This sequence may be broken up into blocks of lengths 1,1,2,3,5,8,... (the nonzero Fibonacci numbers). The first occurrence of a number indicates the start of a new block. The first few blocks are:
0,
1,
2,2,
3,2,3,
4,2,3,4,4,
5,2,3,4,4,5,4,5,
6,2,3,4,4,5,4,5,6,4,5,6,6,
7,2,3,4,4,5,4,5,6,4,5,6,6,7,4,5,6,6,7,6,7,
8,2,3,4,4,5,4,5,6,4,5,6,6,7,4,5,6,6,7,6,7,8,4,5,6,6,7,6,7,8,6,7,8,8,
