COMMENTS
A matrix over GF(2) is an ortho-projection if and only if the matrix is symmetric and idempotent. A labeled ortho-projection graph is a labeled, undirected pseudograph without multiple edges and without multiple loops whose adjacency matrix is an ortho-projection matrix over GF(2). These matrices and graphs arise naturally in low-dimensional topology.
EXAMPLE
a(2)=4 because there are four 2 X 2 ortho-projection matrices over GF(2), namely [0 0 / 0 0], [0 0 / 0 1], [1 0 / 0 0], [1 0 / 0 1].
