%N 0-limiting word of the mapping 00->1000, 10->001, starting with 00.

%C Iterates of the mapping, starting with 00:

%C 00

%C 1000

%C 0011000

%C The 0-limiting word is the limit of the n-th iterates for even n.

%C Conjecture: the number of letters (0's and 1's) in the n-th iterate is given by A287525(n), for n >= 0.
