FORMULA
a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = -1 if e>0, a(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1 (mod 4), (1 + (-1)^e)/2 if p == 3 (mod 4).

Moebius transform is period 8 sequence [ 1, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, 0, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^3), A(x^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = u2 - 2*u3 + u6 - u1^2 + 3*u3^2 + 2*u1*u3 - 4*u2*u6.
G.f.: Sum_{k>0} -(-1)^k * x^((k^2 + k)/2) / (1 + x^k).
