COMMENTS
Sturmian word with slope alpha = sqrt(3)-1, and offset 0. Since alpha has a periodic continued fraction expansion with period 12, (a(n+1)) is the unique fixed point of the morphism 0 -> 110, 1 -> 1101. - Michel Dekking, Feb 06 2017
A275855(n) = R(a(n)) for n>1, where R is the mirror morphism R(0)=1, R(1)=0, This can be shown by induction on the iterates of the two morphisms generating the sequences. - Michel Dekking, Feb 07 2017
