Clark Kimberling, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Example

Iterates, starting with 00:
00
0101
010001
0100001011
0100001010100011
0100001010100010001000010111
Conjecture: the number of letters (0's and 1's) in the n-th iterate is given by A288599(n).

Mathematica

s = {0, 0}; w[0] = StringJoin[Map[ToString, s]];
w[n_] := StringReplace[w[n - 1], {"00" -> "0101", "10" -> "1000"}]
Table[w[n], {n, 0, 8}]
st = ToCharacterCode[w[11]] - 48   (* A288596 *)
Flatten[Position[st, 0]]  (* A288597 *)
Flatten[Position[st, 1]]  (* A288598 *)
Table[StringLength[w[n]], {n, 1, 35}] (* A288599 conjectured *)
