Dec 11, 2017 at 20:55 comment added fedja OK. As soon as I have some free time for typing more than 2 lines. Maybe in the evening :-)
Dec 11, 2017 at 6:40 comment added Shahrooz Dear @fedja, would you please give your proof here? I am curious to see your proof!
Dec 10, 2017 at 17:33 comment added fedja I'm not that sure yet. It is easy to show that regular patterns enjoy nice properties due to their regularity (judging from the tone of your remarks, it looks like we both know the proof of that part now) , but to show that irregular ones do not enjoy those properties even accidentally is often much harder. At least I do not see it yet in this particular case :-)
Dec 10, 2017 at 13:17 comment added Shahrooz Yes, this is the case dear fedja...
Dec 10, 2017 at 8:29 comment added fedja OK, then all numbers $n=2^s-1$ create all even overlaps indeed. Not sure about the other way yet, but we'll see...

corrected the bound for the number $n$
Dec 10, 2017 at 5:26 comment added Shahrooz The first natural number that is of the form $2^s-1$ is $3$ and the claim is true for $n\geq 3$. Anyway, you are right and I must mention in the question that $n\geq 3$. Thanks for these important trivial cases:)
Dec 10, 2017 at 3:52 comment added fedja Well, then my eyesight is even worse than I thought because $n=2$ (which is not of the form $2^s-1$) gives me trouble already: $0110$ and $1001$ have an even overlap each with itself and between them. What do you claim, really?
Dec 9, 2017 at 17:34 comment added Shahrooz @fedja: Please see the note that I added. I forgot to mention that I use the uniform representation, which explained in the question now.
Dec 9, 2017 at 17:32 comment added Shahrooz @AaronMeyerowitz: yes the claim is as you said.

Added some explenation
Dec 9, 2017 at 17:00 comment added fedja Take $n=3=2^2-1$. I have $X_2(3)=11011$, $X^1_2(3)=11110$. So it looks (to me) like the intersection has $3$ elements (1st,2nd, and 4th positions). Am I daltonic, or what?
Dec 9, 2017 at 16:31 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz You mean that the set of $n$ such that for all $k$ and $m$ the "intersection" is even is exactly the set of $n$ of the form $2^s-1.$
