COMMENTS
Assuming the conjecture that the positions of the 0-bits of the middle column ("Rule 167") are given by the sequence A000051, it follows that a possible formula could be: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 1 - floor((1/2)^((2^(n+1)) mod n)) with a(0)=1 and a(1)=3 (Not proved, but tested up to n = 10^4). - Andres Cicuttin, Mar 29 2016
