%C Sequence appears to give signed Fibonacci numbers, where those Fibonacci numbers "missing" are in A173344. A117647 gives a nonnegative version without zeros. (a(n)) = kjbseq(X) with X = -0.25'i + 0.5'j + 0.5'k + 0.25'i + j' + 0.5k' - 0.25ii - 0.25'jj' - 0.25'kk' + 0.5'ij' + 0.5'ik' - 0.5'ji' -0.25'jk' + 0.25'kj' + 0.25'ee' (see Munafo link for definitions)
