Hello SeqFans,
first row is n
second row is a mass or an 'antimass' ('antimasses' are underlined
with this symbol: « ^ »)

   0123456789
   021.......
     ^
We have above an equilibrium, because of the eguality of
(arm) x (mass/antimass):
 
 Mass    Antimass
 2 x 1 = 1 x 2
         ^
Now that we have an equilibrium, we convert the antimass in a 
regular mass, producing thus a desequilibrium:

   0123456789
   021.......

What would be the smallest possible mass 'x' and antimass 'y' 
producing a new equilibrium?                               ^

   021xy.....
       ^
We must resolve the simple equation (3×x)+(2×1)+(1×2)= 4×y
or [3x+4=4y] which gives the values x=0 and y=1.         ^
          ^                                 ^
We have thus the new equilibrium:

   0123456789
   02101.....
       ^
We brake the equilibrium and iterate:

   0123456789
   02101xy...
         ^
Equation: (5×x)+(4x1)+(3x0)+(2x1)+(1x2)= 6×y 
or [5x+8=6y] which gives the values x=2 et y=3

We have thus the new des/equilibrium:

   0123456789
   0210123xy...
           ^
Equation --> 7x+36=8y --> x=4 and y=8 --> des/equilibrium:

   0123456789
   021012348xy...
             ^
Equation --> 9x+128=10y --> x=8 and y=20 --> des/equilibrium:

n = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
S = 0,2,1,0,1,2,3,4,8,8,20, x, y,
                               ^
Equation --> 11x+400=12y --> x=4 and y=37 --> des/equilibrium:

n = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
S = 0,2,1,0,1,2,3,4,8,8,20, 4,37, x, y,
                                     ^

Equation --> 13x+888=14y --> x=14 and y=901 --> des/equilibrium:

n = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
S = 0,2,1,0,1,2,3,4,8,8,20, 4,37,14,901,x, y,
                                           ^
etc.

Could one check and compute a few more terms of this strange seq.?
Best,
É.
