Comments

Since the ratio of the two periods is irrational, the sequence is strictly non-periodic.

From the factorized expression of the corresponding real function of x : 2*cos(2Pi((2 - sqrt(2))/8)x)*sin(2Pi((2 + sqrt(2))/8)x), it is possible to see that the largest distance between consecutive zeros is not greater than the shortest semi-period, 4/(2 + sqrt(2)), that is smaller than 2, and from this it follows that there are no more than two consecutive 0's or 1's.

Andres Cicuttin, Several segments at different scales of the fractal walk starting at (0,0) with step of unit length turning right if a(n)=1 and left if a(n)=0, except when this rule determines a decrement in the horizontal axes which in that case the step is equal to previous one

Formula

a(n) = floor( (1 + sin(2*Pi*(1/2)*n) + sin(2*Pi*(1/(2*Sqrt[2]))*n)) mod 2).
