COMMENTS
Refer to pattern of A267489, The total number of isolated 1's is a(n) and A112421 when consider at the boundary between n-th and (n-1)-th iterations and at the boundary in the same iterations concatenate on horizontal respectively. See illustrations in the links.
Empirically, a(n+4) gives the number of solutions m where 0 < m < 2^n and A014682^n(m) < 3 and A014682^n(m+2^n) = A014682^n(m)+9. - Thomas Scheuerle, Apr 25 2021
