COMMENTS
Each iterative subset can be parsed into secondary subsets relating to A077998, a sequence generated from the Heptagonal matrix M, [1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 0; 1, 0, 0]: 1, 1, 3, 6, 14, 31, 70, ...as follows (Cf. Steinbach): Performing M^n * [1,0,0] we get 3 sets of vectors, read by rows: 1, 0, 0 1, 1, 1 3, 2, 1 6, 5, 3 .. where the n-th row pertains to the n-th iterative subset of the sequence. E.g. (3, 2, 1) is the distribution of 3's, 2's and 1's in (3,1,3,2,2,3). Furthermore, the vectors generated from M relate to the Heptagon diagonals as follows: (E.g.: given the Heptagon diagonals a = 2.24697960...(1 + 2*Cos 2Pi/7); b = 1,80193773...(2*Cos Pi/7) and c = 1 (the edge); then select any 3-termed row in the vectors, such as row 4, (6, 5, 3). Then a^4 = 6*a + 5*b + 3*1.

FORMULA
Let a(n) = 1; then iterate using the rules 1=>3; 2=>2,3; 3=>1,3,2; Append each successive iterate to the right, creating an infinite string.
EXAMPLE
1=>3; 3=>1,3,2; then the previous subset generates 3,1,3,2,2,3. The resulting subsets are (1), (1,3,2), (3,1,3,2,2,3)...which we combine to form a continuous sequence.
