%N Number of pairs of orthogonal (diagonal, antidiagonal) X-rays for all permutations of [n].

%C The X-rays of a permutation are sequences of (diagonal, antidiagonal) sums of the corresponding permutation matrix.

%C A unique pair of orthogonal (diagonal, antidiagonal) X-rays allows identification of the permutation.

%e a(4) = 23. All permutations of {1,2,3,4} have unique pairs of orthogonal X-rays except 2413 and 3142, which share the same pair (0110110, 0110110):
