A160239 Number of "ON" cells in a 2-dimensional cellular automaton ("Fredkin's Replicator") evolving according to the rule that a cell is ON in a given generation if and only if there was an odd number of ON cells among the eight nearest neighbors in the preceding generation, starting with one ON cell. 33

COMMENTS
This is the odd-rule cellular automaton defined by OddRule 757 (see Ekhad-Sloane-Zeilberger "Odd-Rule Cellular Automata on the Square Grid" link). - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 25 2015
The partial sums are in A245542, in which the structure also looks like an irregular stepped pyramid. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 29 2015

FORMULA
a(0) = 1; a(2t)=a(t), a(4t+1)=8*a(t), a(4t+3)=2*a(2t+1)+8*a(t) for t >= 0. (Conjectured by Hrothgar, Jul 11 2014; proved by N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 04 2014.)
For n >= 2, a(n) = 8^r * Product_{lengths i of runs of 1 in binary expansion of n} R(i), where r is the number of runs of 1 in the binary expansion of n and R(i) = A083424(i-1) = (5*4^(i-1)+(-2)^(i-1))/6. Note that row i of the table in A245562 lists the lengths of runs of 1 in binary expansion of i. Example: n=7 = 111 in binary, so r=1, i=3, R(3) = A083424(2) = 14, and so a(7) = 8^1*14 = 112. That is, this sequence is the Run Length Transform of A246030. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 04 2014
The Run Length Transform of a sequence {S(n), n>=0} is defined to be the sequence {T(n), n>=0} given by T(n) = Product_i S(i), where i runs through the lengths of runs of 1's in the binary expansion of n. E.g. 19 is 10011 in binary, which has two runs of 1's, of lengths 1 and 2. So T(19) = S(1)*S(2). T(0)=1 (the empty product). - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 25 2014
EXAMPLE

Written as an irregular triangle in which row lengths is A011782 the sequence begins:

Right border gives A246030. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 29 2015 [This is simply a restatement of the theorem that this sequence is the Run Length Transform of A246030. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 29 2015]

From Omar E. Pol, Mar 18 2015 (Start):
Also, the sequence can be written as an irregular tetrahedron as shown below:

.......................................................................

Apart from the initial 1, we have that T(s,r,k) = T(s+1,r,k). On the other hand, it appears that the configuration of ON cells of T(s,r,k) is also the central part of the configuration of ON cells of T(s+1,r+1,k).
