A108352 a(n) = primal code characteristic of n, which is the least positive integer, if any, such that (n o)^k = 1, otherwise equal to 0. Here "o" denotes the primal composition operator, as illustrated in A106177 and A108371 and (n o)^k = n o ... o n, with k occurrences of n. 20

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 because (1 o)^1 = ({ } o)^1 = 1.

a(2) = 0 because (2 o)^k = (1:1 o)^k = 2, for all positive k.

a(3) = 2 because (3 o)^2 = (2:1 o)^2 = 1.

a(4) = 2 because (4 o)^2 = (1:2 o)^2 = 1.

a(5) = 2 because (5 o)^2 = (3:1 o)^2 = 1.

a(6) = 0 because (6 o)^k = (1:1 2:1 o)^k = 6, for all positive k.

a(7) = 2 because (7 o)^2 = (4:1 o)^1 = 1.

a(8) = 2 because (8 o)^2 = (1:3 o)^1 = 1.

a(9) = 0 because (9 o)^k = (2:2 o)^k = 9, for all positive k.

a(10) = 0 because (10 o)^k = (1:1 3:1 o)^k = 10, for all positive k.

Detail of calculation for compositional powers of 12:

(12 o)^2 = (1:2 2:1) o (1:2 2:1) = (1:1 2:2) = 18

(12 o)^3 = (1:1 2:2) o (1:2 2:1) = (1:2 2:1) = 12

Detail of calculation for compositional powers of 20:

(20 o)^2 = (1:2 3:1) o (1:2 3:1) = (3:2) = 25

(20 o)^3 = (3:2) o (1:2 3:1) = 1
