%N Clone sequence C(2,3): a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) is obtained by repeating each digit of a(n-1), summing the digits in groups of 3, and concatenating the digits of the sums.
%C The sequence of digital roots of a(n) has period 6: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5.
%F a(n) = concat(s1,s2,s3,...) where sj is the sum of the j-th set of three digits in the "cloned" digit string obtained by repeating each digit of a(n-1).
%e a(9) is obtained from a(8) = 614 by cloning every digit of 614 to get 6,6,1,1,4,4, summing the digits three at a time to get (6+6+1, 1+4+4) = (13, 9), and concatenating the sums to get a(9) = 139.
%e a(1) = 1, so a(2) = 1 + 1 + 0 = 2;
