Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A269723
Start with A_0 = 0, then extend by setting B_k = complement of A_k and A_{k+1} = A_k A_k B_k B_k; sequence is limit of A_k as k -> infinity.

COMMENTS
Equivalently, trajectory of 0 under the morphism 0 -> 0011, 1 -> 1100.
a(n) is the number of 1's, mod 2, in the 2^{odd} positions of the binary representation of n. - Jon Hart, Aug 09 2016
EXAMPLE
The first few A_k are:
A_0 = 0,
A_1 = 0,0,1,1,
A_2 = 0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,
A_3 = 0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,
