A260749 Dragon Curve triple point middle inverses. If D:[0,1] is a Dragon curve, then besides n, there are two other integers p and q (with p < n < q) with D(A(p)/(15*2^k)) = D(A(n)/(15*2^k)) = D(A(q)/(15*2^k)), where k is any integer > log_2(A(q)/15). 5

COMMENTS
See dragun in the MATHEMATICA section for an exact evaluator of a continuous, spacefilling Dragon function, and undrag, its multivalued inverse.
For the triples grouped, use Dragon(A260748(n)) = Dragon(A260749(n)) = Dragon(A260750(n)). (I.e., they're "conformal".)

EXAMPLE
For definiteness, we choose the Dragon in the complex plane with Dragon(0) = 0, Dragon(1) = 1, Dragon(1/3) = 1/5+2i/5
Then using A(1) = 21, for k=1,2,3, {dragun[21/30], dragun[21/60], dragun[21/120]}
-> {{1/2 + I/6}, {1/6 + I/3}, {-1/12 + I/4}}
These have inverse images undrag/@First/@%
{{13/30, 7/10, 23/30}, {13/60, 7/20, 23/60}, {13/120, 7/40, 23/120}}
dragun[21/15/2^k] = dragun[13/15/2^k] = dragun[23/15/2^k], which empirically = (2/3 - I/3) (1/2 + I/2)^k
