%C See A080843 for the {0,1,2} version, which in a sense is the most basic version.

%C See also A103269 for another version with further references and comments.

%C Also called a tribonacci word. In the limit the ratios #1's : #2's : #3's are t^2 : t : 1 where t is the tribonacci constant 1.839286755... (A058265). - _Frank M Jackson_, Mar 29 2018

%C a(n)-1 is the number of trailing 0's in the maximal tribonacci representation of n (A352103). - _Amiram Eldar_, Feb 29 2024
