%N Trajectory of 2 under repeated application of the map n -> A102370(n).
%C Although it initially appears that a(n)-8n is the 16-periodic sequence {-2,-6,-10,-14,-18,-22,-26,-30,-34,-38,-42,-46,-50,-54,6,2}, this pattern eventually breaks down. However, the first divergence occurs beyond the first 400 million terms.
%C (a(n)) agrees with the 16-periodic sequence up to a(2^67-1) = 2^70 - 70, but then diverges with a(2^67) = 2^71 - 2. - _Charlie Neder_, Feb 07 2019
