COMMENTS
We start with the string 01, at each step we replace the string by two concatenated copies and remove the last symbol.
01 -> 010 -> 01001 -> 010010100 etc.
Each string consists of 2^n + 1 symbols and clearly after this step the first 2^n + 1 symbols do not change.
Equivalently this sequence is given as follows: a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, and for n>1, a(n) = first one of g(n), g(g(n)), g(g(g(n))).. etc. to be either 0 or 1, where g(n) = A053645(n-1).
The proportion of 0's in this sequence converges to a number close to 0.645059. The exact nature of this constant is not known. It is easy to show there are no 2 consecutive 1's.
Start of the first occurrence of k consecutive zeros: 0, 2, 7, 2046, > 8388600, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Aug 17 2009
Start of the first occurrence of 5 consecutive zeros is > 2^34 - 5. Sum of the first 10^n terms b(n) begins: 0, 3, 36, 355, 3549, 35494, 354942, 3549412, 35494122, 354941215, 3549412151. - Alex Ratushnyak, Aug 15 2012
a(A246439(n)) = 1; a(A246438(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 28 2014
The partial sums appear to give A101402. - Arie Groeneveld, Aug 27 2014
