COMMENTS
The final digits approach a limit. That is, after the first few terms, all the terms end in 70194710743368411694 and as more terms go by, even more digits remain constant. - Joshua Zucker, May 04 2006

FORMULA
a(n+1) = a(n) + sum [ absolute{a(n) - a(k)}, k = 1 to n].
EXAMPLE
14 is the next term after 4= a(5), 14 = 4 + abs(4-a(1)) + abs(4-a(2)) + abs( 4-a(3)) + abs(4-a(4)).
