Antti Karttunen, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..100000
EXAMPLE
The evolution of one-dimensional cellular automaton rule 30 proceeds as follows, when started from a single alive (1) cell:
0: (1)
1: 1(1)1
2: 11(0)01
3: 110(1)111
4: 1100(1)0001
5: 11011(1)10111
6: 110010(0)001001
7: 1101111(0)0111111
8: 11001000(1)11000001
9: 110111101(1)001000111
10: 1100100001(0)1111011001
11: 11011110011(0)10000101111
12: 110010001110(0)110011010001
13: 1101111011001(1)1011100110111
The distances between successive 1's in its central column (indicated here with parentheses) are 1-0 (as the first 1 is on row 0, and the second is on row 1), 3-1, 4-3, 5-4, 8-5, 9-8, 13-9, ..., that is, the first terms of this sequence: 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 4, ...
