The first occurrence of k = 1, 2, ... is at n = 2^(2^(k-1) - 1) = A058891(k).

The asymptotic density of the occurrences of k = 1, 2, ... in this sequence is 2^(2^(k-1))/(2^(2^k)-1) = 2/3, 4/15, 16/255, 256/65535, 65536/4294967295, ...

The first occurrence of k = 1, 2, ... is at n = 2^(2^k) = A001146(k).
If n is an exponentially squarefree number (A209061) then a(n) <= 1. The converse is not necessarily true, with n = 2592 = 2^5 * 3^4 being the least counterexample.
The asymptotic density of the occurrences of 0 in this sequence is 1/zeta(2) = 6/Pi^2 (A059956).
The asymptotic density of the occurrences of 1 in this sequence is Sum_{k squarefree > 1} (1/zeta(k+1) - 1/zeta(k)) = 0.348423339572619656701... .
