Suppose S = (s(0), s(1), s(2),...) is an infinite sequence such that every finite block of consecutive terms occurs infinitely many times in S. (It is assumed that A014675 is such a sequence.) Let B = B(m,k) = (s(m-k), s(m-k+1),...,s(m)) be such a block, where m >= 0 and k >= 0. Let m(1) be the least i > m such that (s(i-k), s(i-k+1),...,s(i)) = B(m,k), and put B(m(1),k+1) = (s(m(1)-k-1), s(m(1)-k),...,s(m(1))). Let m(2) be the least i > m(1) such that (s(i-k-1), s(i-k),...,s(i)) = B(m(1),k+1), and put B(m(2),k+2) = (s(m(2)-k-2), s(m(2)-k-1),...,s(m(2))). Continuing in this manner gives a sequence of blocks B(m(n),k+n). Let B'(n) = reverse(B(m(n),k+n)), so that for n >= 1, B'(n) comes from B'(n-1) by suffixing a single term; thus the limit of B'(n) is defined; we call it the "limit-reverse of S with initial block B(m,k)", denoted by S*(m,k), or simply S*.
The sequence (m(i)), where m(0) = 0, is the "index sequence for limit-reversing S with initial block B(m,k)" or simply the index sequence for S*, as in A245921.
For numbers represented by taking S and S* as continued fractions, see A245975 and A245976. If S is taken to be the classical (0,1)-version of the infinite Fibonacci word, then S* is obtained from the present sequence by substituting 0 for 2 throughout, as in A241422.
The limit-reverse, S*, is analogous to a limiting block extension, S^, defined at A246127. The essential difference is that S^ is formed by extending each new block one term to the right, whereas S* is formed by extending each new block one term to the left (and then reversing).

EXAMPLE
S = infinite Fibonacci word A014675, B = (s(0)); that is, (m,k) = (0,0);
S = (2,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,...)
B'(0) = (2)
B'(1) = (2,1)
B'(2) = (2,1,2)
B'(3) = (2,1,2,1)
B'(4) = (2,1,2,1,2)
B'(5) = (2,1,2,1,2,2)
S* = (2,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,...),
with index sequence (0,2,5,7,15,...)
