Re bar codes:

The "left side" bar code seems to be that digits are encoded as follows:
0 = 0001101
1 = 0011001
2 = 0010011
...
9 = 0001011
according to one web site I found.

So let's start with 0 and ask for a sequence which is its own bar code

Since 0 = 0001101 and 1 = 0011001, the sequence would start

0001101 0001101 0001101 0011001 0011001   0001101 0011001 ...

or in other words

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1,
0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, ...

John, have I understood the code correctly?  I'm assuming the sequence has
no "guard digits"
at the start, is infinite, and we only use the "left half" code
