Also first differences of Stanley sequence S(1,5) (A033158).
While there are conjectures about formulas for S(0,m), m=1,2,3,6,9... (see A093682), m=4 is the first case where the first differences look almost random.
Records are 4, 7, 17, 18, 26, 48, 50, 55, 76, 87, 92, 93, 165, 175,...
Positions of records are 1, 7, 16, 23, 28, 49, 61, 81, 83, 101, 147, 165, 185, 250, 400,...
Positions where a(n)=1: 2, 5, 12, 33, 35, 66, 72, 94, 125, 160, 189, 288, 307, 327,...
