COMMENTS
b = 1 + (column 1 of Z) = 1 + A020942. The pair (a,b) also satisfy the following complementary equations: b(n)=a(a(a(n)))+1; a(b(n))=a(n)+b(n); b(a(n))=a(n)+b(n)-1; (and others).
A005374(a(n)) = n. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 17 2011]

FORMULA
Let Z = (3rd order Zeckendorf array) = A136189. Then a = ordered union of columns 1,3,4,6,7,9,10,12,13,... of Z, b = ordered union of columns 2,5,8,11,14,... of Z.
EXAMPLE
b(1) = a(a(1))+1 = a(1)+1 = 1+1 = 2;
b(2) = a(a(2))+2 = a(3)+2 = 4+2 = 6;
b(3) = a(a(3))+3 = a(4)+3 = 5+3 = 8;
b(4) = a(a(4))+4 = a(5)+4 = 7+4 = 11.
