Comments

This is the fixed point of the morphism 0->0213, 1->2130, 2->1302, 3->3021 starting with 0. Let t be the (nonperiodic) sequence of positions of 0, and likewise, u for 1, v for 2, and w for 3; then t(n)/n -> 4, u(n)/n -> 4, v(n)/n -> 4, w(n)/n -> 4. Also, t(n) + u(n) + v(n) + w(n) = 16*n - 6 for n >= 1. See A287556 for a guide to related sequences.

Mathematica

s = Nest[Flatten[# /. {0 -> {0, 2, 1, 3}, 1 -> {2, 1, 3, 0}, 2 -> {1, 3, 0, 2}, 3 -> {3, 0, 2, 1}}] &, {0}, 9];   (* A287561 *)
Flatten[Position[s, 0]]; (* A287562 *)
