%N Fixed point of the mapping 00->1000, 10->10101, starting with 00.
%C Conjecture: The number of letters (0's and 1's) in the n-th iterate of the mapping is given by A123720.
%C The first five iterates of the mapping:
%C 00
%C 1000
%C 101011000
%C 10101101011101011000
%C 1010110101110101101011110101101011101011000
%C No iterate is an initial subword of its successor.
