%N a(n) = s(2*n) where s(0) = 0, s(1) = s(2) = 1, s(n) = abs(Sum_{k=2..n-1} (-1)^k * s(n-k) * s(k)).
%C Derived from G.J. Chaitin's s formula.
%C Chaitin's expression is s(0)=0, s(1)=alpha, s(2)=1, s(n)=Sum_{k=2..n-1} s(n-k)*s(k), but here it is made to alternate with the introduction of (-1)^k so that the numbers do not get large fast and alternate back and forth like a boustrophedon (A072231).
