FORMULA
The sequence can be generated by iterating a morphism starting with a: a->ab, b->c, c->d, d->de, e->f, f->a, and then replacing a,e,f with 0 and b,c,d with 1.
Alternatively it can be generated by setting X(0) = X(1) = X(2) = 0 and X(n) = X(n-1) X(n-3)', where ' means take the binary complement of each symbol. We find X(3) = 01, X(4) = 011, X(5) = 0111, X(6) = 011110, X(7) = 011110100, ... and the limiting sequence is this one.
In both cases, the iterates are of length A000930(n).
