For n > 1, a(n) gives the contents of the parent of the node which contains n in A267112-tree.
The sequence maps each n > 1 to a number which is one digit shorter in binary system (cf. "Other identities"). This follows because A004001 is monotonic and A004001(2^n) = 2^(n-1) (see properties (2) and (3) given on page 227 of Kubo & Vakil paper, or page 3 in PDF), and also how the frequency counts Q_n for A004001 are recursively constructed (see Kubo & Vakil paper, p. 229 or A265332 for the illustration).
