This sequence is the Pierce expansion of the number 3*s(3) - 1 = 0.370827687432918983346475478500709113969827799141493576... where s(u) = Sum_{k>=0) 1/u^(2^k) for u=3 has been considered by N. J. A. Sloane in A004200.
The continued fraction expansion of the number 3*s(3)-1 is essentially A081771.

EXAMPLE
|
The Pierce expansion of 0.3708276874329189833 starts as 1/2 - 1/(2*3) + 1/(2*3*4) - 1/(2*3*4*9) + 1/(2*3*4*9*10) - 1/(2*3*4*9*10*81) + ...
