%e The initial term is 110. Using complex base -1+i, this is -1-i. Reversing 110 gives 011, which is 0+i. Adding both terms gives -1+0i, which is 11101, the second term.
%Y Cf A193239, number of steps needed to reach a palindrome with complex base -1+i. For that sequence, a(6)=-1, showing that decimal 6 (binary 110) seems to not reach a palindrome under the "Reverse and Add" iteration. Cf A193241, the trajectory of 10100 (decimal 20).
