COMMENTS

It seems that any such iterative cycle can contain at most 4 distinct elements.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 4 since 2 -> 4 -> 1+6 = 7 -> 4+9 = 13 -> 1+6+9 = 16 -> 2+5+6 = 13, thus {4,7,13,16} are the distinct elements of the iterative cycle of 2. a(6) = 1 since 6 -> 3+6 = 9 -> 8+1 = 9 thus 9 is the only element in the iterative cycle of 3.
