A290537 Let S be the sequence generated by these rules: 0 is in S, and if z is in S, then z + 1 and z * (1+i) are in S (where i denotes the imaginary unit), and duplicates are deleted as they occur; a(n) = the imaginary part of the n-th term of S.

0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 2, 0, 3, 2, 4, 1, 3, 2, 2, 0, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5, 4, 4, 1, 4, 3, 4, 3, 2, 0, 0, 5, 4, 8, 3, 7, 6, 6, 2, 6, 5, 6, 5, 4, 0, 1, 5, 4, 6, 5, 4, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, -4, 0, 6, 5, 10, 4, 9, 8, 8, 3, 8, 7, 8, 7, 6, 0, 2, 7, 6, 8, 7, 6, 2, 5, 2, 1, 0, -8, 1

Example

S(1) = 0 by definition; so a(1) = 0.
S(1)+1 = 1 has not yet occurred; so S(2) = 1 and a(2) = 0.
S(1)*(i+i) = 0 has already occurred.
S(2)+1 = 2 has not yet occurred; so S(3) = 2 and a(3) = 0.
S(2)*(1+i) = 1+i has not yet occured; so S(4) = 1+i and a(4) = 1.
S(3)+1 = 3 has not yet occurred; so S(5) = 3 and a(5) = 0.
