FORMULA
After the initial block of six 1's, the sequence is quasi-periodic with period 36, increasing by 6 after each block.

G.f.: x*(1 + x^6 + x^9 - x^10 + x^13 + x^14 - x^15 + x^17 - x^18 + x^20 + x^21 - x^22 + x^25 + x^30 + x^31 - x^32 + x^33 - x^34 + x^35 - 2*x^36 + x^37 - x^38 + x^39 - x^40 + x^41) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)*(1 - x + x^2)*(1 + x^2)*(1 + x + x^2)*(1 - x^2 + x^4)*(1 - x^3 + x^6)*(1 + x^3 + x^6)*(1 - x^6 + x^12)).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-36) - a(n-37) for n>42.
