%N Start with 0 and repeatedly substitute 0->012, 1->102, 2->120.
%C This is the fixed point of the morphism 0->012, 1->102, 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 It is in fact easy to see that |u(n)-3n|<3, |v(n)-3n|<3, and |w(n)-3n|<3. - _Michel Dekking_, Oct 02 2019
%C See A287385 for a guide to related sequences.
