COMMENTS
Binary expansion of a(n) encodes the positions of multiples of three in the path taken from n to the root in the binary trees like A245612 and A244154.
FORMULA
a(1) = 0; and for n > 1, a(n) = A079978(n) + 2*a(A285712(n)).
a(n) + A292591(n) = A245611(n).
a(A245612(n)) = A292592(n).
A000120(a(n)) = A292594(n).
