This sequence hits every positive integer and it has a fractal-like structure, see scatterplot of 2*n-3*a(n) in Links section.
Let b(1) = b(2) = b(3) = b(4) = 1; for n >= 5, b(n) = b(t(n)) + b(n-t(n)) where t = A063882. Observe the symmetric relation between this sequence (a(n)) and b(n) thanks to plots of a(n)-2*n/3 and b(n)-n/3 in Links section. Note that a(n) + b(n) = n for n >= 2.
