Hello Lars,
this is what I've just answered to Jim Nastos
who reacted exactly like you!
Best,
É.

Hi Jim,
Yes, you're right about 1,2,1,2,1,2,...
but there is even 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,... !
So I decided to start the seq with
the first non trivial "seed" which is
_not_ 1,2,2,1,3,... and _not_ 1,2,2,3,1,...
(those two starts lead to a quick
contradiction) but 1,2,2,2,1,3,... does
the job.
There are infinitely many such seq and
some others must be fun to build
(which I will try tomorrow), but I guess
the one I've suggested is the lexico-
first non trivial one with the stated
property...
(I hope!)
Best,
É.

Hi Eric,
  Interesting idea, but the self-rebuilding also applies to 1,2,1,2,1,2,... And 1,2,3,4,5,6,....
  Why did you start with your S?

Hello SeqFans,
Replace in S all chunks of same-parity integers by the average of the said chunk and you will get S back.

Example:
- the first chunk is made by 1, -- replace it with 1;
- the second chunk is 2,2,2, -- replace it with 2;
- the third chunk is 1,3, -- replace it with 2;
- the fourth chunk is 2,2, -- replace it with 2;
- the fifth chunk is made by 1, -- replace it with 1;
- the sixth chunk is made by 2,4, -- replace it by 3;
etc.
The replacements so far have been 1,2,2,2,3,1... which rebuilds S.

In considering S, one quickly notices this array where the rightmost diagonal is A023105:

1,
2,
2,
2,1,3,
2,2,1,2,4,
3,1,2,1,2,1,7,
2,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,12,
3,1,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,23,
2,4,1,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,44,
3,14,14,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,87,
2,4,1,4,1,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,172,
3,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,343,
...

Hi,
The sequence 1,2,1,2,1,2,... seems to also fulfill the stated requirements so I am probably missing something here.
