If 1 and 2 represent the 2D vectors (1,0) and (0,1) and -1 and -2 are the negation of these vectors, then this sequence represents the Koch curve.

%N If 1 and 2 represent the 2D vectors (1,0) and (0,1) and -1 and -2 are the negation of these vectors, then this sequence represents the Koch curve.

%C The sequence is generated by the rewriting rules:

%C P(1) = 1,2,1,-2,1;

%C P(2) = 2,-1,2,1,2 and

%C P(-1) = -1,-2,-1,2,-1;

%C P(-2) = -2,1,-2,-1,-2, so P(-x)=-P(x).

%C The start is 1.

%e Start with 1, you get

%e in the first step 1,2,1,-2,1, and

%e in the 2nd step 1,2,1,-2,1,2,-1,2,1,2,1,2,1,-2,1,-2,1,-2,-1,-2,1,2,1,-2,1.

%e With each step the length increases by a factor 5.

%Y Coordinates: A332249, A332250.

%Y Cf. A229216, A166253.
