We consider the positions of occurrences of a factor x and its binary complement x in the Thue-Morse word t = 01101001⋯, and show that these occurrences are "intertwined" in essentially two different ways. Our proof method consists of stating the needed properties as a first-order logic formula φ, and then using a theorem-prover to prove φ.
