A308170 Start with the number 7, repeatedly square every digit in place to get a new number; in the limit this process converges (reading from right to left) to the string shown here. 2

COMMENTS
If we start with 3 or 9, we get the same sequence. If instead we start with 2, 4, 6, or 8 we get the same sequence but without the initial 1. If we start with 5 we get A308171. [Corrected by M. F. Hasler, May 15 2019]
Comment from Jean-Paul Allouche, May 15 2019: These sequences can be obtained in the order shown (that is, in the right-to-left order) by starting with 7 (say), and repeatedly applying the morphism on the alphabet {1,2,3,...,9} defined by 1 -> 1, 3 -> 9, 4 -> 61, 5 -> 52, 6 -> 63, 7 -> 94, 8 -> 46, 9 -> 18.
If we start with 1, application of the morphism will never change that initial sequence of length 1: this is the third fixed point of the morphism. - M. F. Hasler, May 15 2019
