4, 5, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7, 4, 7, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7, 4, 7, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7, 4, 7, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 3

Example

See illustrations in A179409. In the first four patterns there are alive cells in 4, 5, 3 and 3 columns, thus a(0)=4, a(1)=5, a(2)=3 and a(3)=3.
