Partial sums of A244971.
If we use toothpicks of length 1/2, so the area of the central square is equal to 1. The total area of the structure after n-th stage is equal to A024916(n), the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= n, hence the total area of the n-th set of symmetric regions added at n-th stage is equal to sigma(n) = A000203(n), the sum of divisors of n.
If we use toothpicks of length 1, so the number of cells (and the area) of the central square is equal to 4. The number of cells (and the total area) of the structure after n-th stage is equal to 4*A024916(n) = A243980(n), hence the number of cells (and the total area) of the n-th set of symmetric regions added at n-th stage is equal to 4*A000203(n) = A239050(n).
a(n) is also the total number of terraces of the stepped pyramid with n levels described in A244050. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 20 2016
