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”).

COMMENTS
This is the fixed point of the morphism 0->012, 1->201, 2->102 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.
See A287385 for a guide to related sequences.
EXAMPLE
First three iterations of the morphism: 012, 012201102, 012201102102012201201012102.
