COMMENTS
A007916 lists the numbers whose prime multiplicities are relatively prime. For each n we can construct a plane tree by repeatedly factoring all positive integers at any level into their corresponding power towers of non-perfect-powers (see A277564). a(n) is the number of nodes in this plane tree.

FORMULA
First appearance of n is a(A277576(n)). Last appearance of n is a(2^^{n-1}) where ^^ denotes iterated exponentiation (or tetration).
Number of appearances of n is the Catalan number |{k:a(k)=n}| = C_{n-1}.
EXAMPLE
a(1)=1, a(2)=1+a(1)=2, a(3)=1+a(2)=3, a(4)=1+a(1)+a(1)=3 because 4=c(1)^c(1), a(8)=1+a(1)+a(2)=4 because 8=c(1)^c(2), a(9)=1+a(2)+a(1)=4 because 9=c(2)^c(1), a(10)=1+a(6)=5 because 10=c(6).
