%N Total number of 2 X 2 squares appearing in the Thue-Morse sequence logical matrices (1, 0 version) after n stages.
%C a(n) is the total number of non-isolated "1s" (consecutive 1s on 2 rows, 2 columns) that appear as 2 X 2 squares in the Thue-Morse sequence (another version starts with 1) logical matrices after n stages. See links for more details.
