Comments

A word w is primitive if it cannot be written as u^k with k>1; otherwise it is imprimitive.

The {0,1} version of this sequence is 00, 11, 000, 111, 0000, 0101, 1010, 1111, 00000, 11111, 000000, 001001, 010010, 010101, 011011, 100100, 101010, 101101, 110110, 111111 but this cannot be included as a sequence in the OEIS since it contains nonzero "numbers" beginning with 0.

This sequence results from A213973 by replacing each digit 1 by 2, and from A213972 by replacing all digits 2 by 3 and all digits 1 by 2. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 10 2014
