Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Conjecture: This sequence appears to have a simple structure. Encode it by making the following substitutions, in this order:
Replace the initial 28 terms 0011201120223120113120112022 by S (as usual, the start is irregular), then map:
3 1 3 -> 7
3 1 2 -> 6
1 2 0 1 1 2 0 2 2 -> 9
0 1 1 -> 2
0 2 2 -> 4
Then it appears that the encoded sequence is the concatenation of the following blocks:
S
79
79(6264)^1
79(6264)^1
79(6264)^3
79(6264)^3
79(6264)^15
79(6264)^15
79(6264)^31
79(6264)^31
79(6264)^63
79(6264)^63
79(6264)^127
79(6264)^127
...
This is probably not the most efficient encoding, but I was happy to find any one that revealed the structure.
From Michel Dekking, Jul 23 2022: (Start)
The following is another way to present the conjecture above, which shows the close connection with sequence A355150.
Conjecture: It appears that this sequence is almost a periodic sequence, with period 12. Let x:=A354789.
If n > 28, n == 5 (mod 12) is not an element of x then (written as words)
a(n)a(n+1)...a(n+11) = 312011312022.
If n > 28, n == 5 (mod 12) is an element of x then
a(n)a(n+1)...a(n+11) = 313120112022.
