%e From _Antti Karttunen_, Sep 22 2018: (Start)

%e For n = 1, A063919(1) = 1, that is, we immediately end with a terminal cycle of length 1 without a preceding transient part, thus a(1) = 1.

%e For n = 2, A063919(2) = 1, and A063919(1) = 1, so we end with a terminal cycle of length 1 (after a transient part of length 1) thus a(2) = 1.

%e For n = 30, A063919(30) = 42, A063919(42) = 54, A063919(54) = 30, thus a(30) = a(42) = a(54) = 3, as 30, 42 and 54 are all contained in their own terminal cycle of length 3, without a preceding transient part. (End)

%e For n = 1506, the iteration-list is {1506, 1518, 1938, 2382, 2394, 2406, [2418, 2958, 3522, 3534, 4146, 4158, 3906, 3774, 4434, 4446, 3954, 3966, 3978, 3582, 2418, ..., ad infinitum]}. After a transient of length 6 the iteration ends in a cycle of length 14, thus a(1506) = 14.
