A288724 Second sequence of a Kolakoski 3-Ouroboros, i.e., sequence of 1s, 2s and 3s that is second in a chain of three distinct sequences where successive run-length encodings produce seq(1) -> seq(2) -> seq(3) -> seq(1). 4

EXAMPLE
Write down the run-lengths of the sequence A288723, or the lengths of the runs of 1s, 2s and 3s. This yields a second and different sequence of 1s, 2s and 3s, A288724 (as above). The run-lengths of this second sequence yield a third and different sequence, A288725. The run-lengths of this third sequence yield the original sequence. For example, bracket the runs of distinct integers, then replace the original digits with the run-lengths to create the second sequence:
(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,1,1), (2), (3), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3,3), (1,1,1), (2,2,2), (3), (1), (2), (3,3), (1,1,1), (2), (3,3), (1,1), (2,2,2), ... -> 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, ...
Apply the same process to the second sequence and the third sequence appears:
(2,2,2), (3), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3,3), (1,1,1), (2), (3), (1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,1), (2,2,2), (3), (1,1), (2,2,2), (3,3,3), (1), (2), (3), ... -> 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, ...
Apply the same process to the third sequence and the original sequence reappears:
(3), (1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,1,1), (2,2,2), (3), (1), (2), (3,3), (1,1,1), (2), (3), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3,3), (1,1,1), (2,2,2), (3), (1), ... -> 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, ...
