COMMENTS
a(n) is a numerator of a fraction of the form a(n)/(2^2^n + 1) whose expansion into a repeating binary string models the n-th parity in the Collatz orbit of an integer.
EXAMPLE
a(1)=1 => f(1) = 1/3 => b(1) = 101010...
a(2)=3 => f(2) = 3/5 => b(2) = 10011001...
elements in b(2) determine the parity of elements at index 2 in the Collatz parity sequence of an integer.
