A hierarchical sequence (S(W'3{2,2}*cc) - see A059126).
Generating floretion: AB + BA with A = .5'i + .5'ii' + .5'ij' + .5'ik' and B = - .5'j + .5'k - .5j' + .5k' - 'ii' - .5'ij' - .5'ik' - .5'ji' - .5'ki'. - Creighton Dement, Dec 19 2004

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-4).
FORMULA
G.f.: 16/(2*x-1)^2.
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 13 2021: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = log(2)/8.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = log(3/2)/8. (End)
