EXAMPLE
Start with A064736, bisect to get A286290, take second difference, and we get:
1, 2, 7, 6, -5, 2, 2, 13, 6, -11, 2, 2, 2, 2, 21, 6, -19, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 36, 6, -34, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 57, 6, -55, 2, 2, ...
which appears to consist of runs of 2's separated by a triple of numbers.
Look at the runs in that sequence:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 11, 1, 1, 1, 17, 1, 1, 1, 12, 1, 1, 1, 14, 1, 1, 1, 16, 1, 1, 1, 29, 1, 1, 1, 35, 1, 1, 1, 24, 1, 1, 1, 26, 1, 1, ...
and take the 4i+2 subsequence, which gives the present sequence.
