FORMULA
Let s(n)=i(n)*r+j(n) be the sequence obtained by arranging in increasing order all the numbers ir+j, where r is the golden mean ((1+sqrt(5))/2), and i>=0, j>=0. Then
a(n)=1 if i(n) is odd and j(n) is odd (n in A183989);
a(n)=2 if i(n) is odd and j(n) is even (n in A183991);
a(n)=3 if i(n) is even and j(n) is odd (n in A183990);
a(n)=4 if i(n) is even and j(n) is even (n in A183992).
