A246163
Permutation of natural numbers: a(1) = 1, a(A014580(n)) = A065621(1+a(n)), a(A091242(n)) = A048724(a(n)), where A065621(n) and A048724(n) give the reversing binary representation of n and -n, respectively, and A014580 resp. A091242 are the binary coded irreducible resp. reducible polynomials over GF(2).

COMMENTS
This is an instance of entanglement permutation, where the two complementary pairs to be entangled with each other are A014580/A091242 (binary codes for irreducible and reducible polynomials over GF(2)) and A065621/A048724, the latter which themselves are permutations of A000069/A001969 (odious and evil numbers), which means that this permutation shares many properties with A246161.
Because 3 is the only evil number in A014580, it implies that, apart from a(3)=7, odious numbers occur in odious positions only (along with many evil numbers that also occur in odious positions).
Furthermore, all terms of A246158 reside in infinite cycles, and apart from 4 and 8, all of them reside in separate cycles. The infinite cycle containing 4 and 8 goes as: ..., 2091, 97, 47, 13, 11, 4, 3, 7, 8, 5, 6, 9, 10, 27, 46, 408, 2535, ... and it is only because a(3) = 7, that it can temporarily switch back from evil terms to odious terms, until right after a(8) = 5 it is finally doomed to the eternal evilness.

FORMULA
a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if n is in A014580, a(n) = A065621(1+a(A091226(n))), otherwise a(n) = A048724(a(A091245(n))).
As a composition of related permutations:
a(n) = A193231(A246201(n)).
a(n) = A234026(A245701(n)).
a(n) = A234612(A246161(n)).
a(n) = A193231(A246203(A193231(n))).
Other identities:
For all n > 1, A010060(a(n)) = A091225(n). [Maps binary representations of irreducible GF(2) polynomials (A014580) to odious numbers and the corresponding representations of reducible polynomials (A091242) to evil numbers, in some order].
