COMMENTS
Consider the binary trees illustrated in A252753 and A252755: If we start from any n, computing successive iterations of A253554 until 1 is reached (i.e., we are traversing level by level towards the root of the tree, starting from that vertex of the tree where n is located at), a(n) gives the number of odd numbers encountered on the path (i.e., including both the final 1 and the starting n if it was odd).

FORMULA
a(n) = A253556(n) + 1.
a(n) = A080791(A252754(n)) + 1. [One more than the number of nonleading 0-bits in A252754(n).]
Other identities.
For all n >= 1:
a(A000040(n)) = n.
For all n >= 2:
a(n) = A000120(A252756(n)). [Binary weight of A252756(n).]
a(n) = A253555(n) - A253559(n).
PROG
(Scheme) (define (A253558 n) (+ 1 (A253556 n)))
CROSSREFS
One more than A253556.
Powers of two, A000079, gives the positions of ones.
After n=1, differs from A061395 for the first time at n=21, where a(21) = 2, while A061395(21) = 4.
