%N Start with 0 and repeatedly substitute 0->012, 1->201, 2->120.

%C This is the fixed point of the morphism 0->012, 1->201, 2->120 starting with 0. Let u be the (nonperiodic) sequence of positions of 0, and likewise, v for 1 and w for 2; then u(n)/n -> 3, v(n)/n -> 3, w(n)/n -> 3.

%C See A287385 for a guide to related sequences.
