[seqfan] Re: The Fibonacci word over the nonneg integers

[Kerry Mitchell]

There's a similar sequence for the Tribonacci word:

Trajectory of 0 under the map x -> x,x+1,x+2 if x mod 3 = 0;
x -> x+1 if x mod 3 = 1; x -> x+1 if x mod 3 = 2.

It begins:

0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5,
5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, etc.

The number of terms in each iteration corresponds to the tribonacci
sequence (beginning with 1, 1, 1):

   - 1 term: 0
   - 3 terms: 0 1 2
   - 5 terms: 0 1 2 2 3
   - 9 terms: 0 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 5
   - 17 terms: 0 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 5 3 4 5 3 4 5 5 6

When looked at this way, each subsequent iteration is the previous one
copied, then the pre-pre-previous iteration with each term incremented by
3, then the pre-previous iteration, with each term incremented by 3.
