COMMENTS
Conjecture: the number of letters (0's and 1's) in the n-th iterate is given by A288511(n).
Iterates, starting with 00:
00
0101
00011
0101011
000100111
010100010111
00010010101001111
01010001000100100101111
000100101010010101001000100011111
The 1-limiting word is the limit taken over odd-numbered iterations of the mapping.
