%N Distances between successive zeros in A051023, the middle column of rule-30 1-D cellular automaton, when started from a lone 1 cell.
%C First differences of A327985, which gives indices of zeros in A051023.

%F a(n) = A327985(1+n) - A327985(n).
%e The evolution of one-dimensional cellular automaton rule 30 proceeds as follows, when started from a single alive (1) cell:
%e 0: (1)
%e 1: 1(1)1
%e 2: 11(0)01
%e 3: 110(1)111
%e 4: 1100(1)0001
%e 5: 11011(1)10111
%e 6: 110010(0)001001
%e 7: 1101111(0)0111111
%e 8: 11001000(1)11000001
%e 9: 110111101(1)001000111
%e 10: 1100100001(0)1111011001
%e 11: 11011110011(0)10000101111
%e 12: 110010001110(0)110011010001
%e When noting up the distances between successive 0's in its central column (indicated here with parentheses), we obtain 6-2 (as the first 0 is on row 2, and the second is on row 6), 7-6, 10-7, 11-10, 12-11, ..., that is, the first terms of this sequence: 4, 1, 3, 1, 1, ...
