The sequence is the flattened form of an irregular table U(i, j) similar to table T(i, j) in A322469. U(i, j) = k is defined only for the elements T(i, j) which have the form 6*k - 2, so the table is sparsely filled.
Like in A322469, the columns in table U contain arithmetic progressions.
a(n) is a permutation of the positive integers, since A322469 is one, and since there is a one-to-one mapping between any a(n) = k and some A322469(m) = 6*k - 2.
There is a hierarchy of such permutations of the positive integers derived by mapping the terms of the form 6*k - 2 to k:
Level 1: A322469
Level 2: A307048 (this sequence)
Level 3: A160016 = 2, 1, 4, 6, 8, 3, ... period of (3 even, 1 odd number)
Level 4: A000027 = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... (the positive integers)
Level 5: A000027
EXAMPLE
Table U(i, j) begins:
i\j 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
-------------------------
1:
4: 2
7: 1
10:
13: 6
16: 5
19:
22: 10
25: 4
28:
31: 14
-----
T(4, 3) = 10 = 6*2 - 2, therefore U(4, 3) = 2.
T(7, 6) = 4 = 6*1 - 2, therefore U(7, 6) = 1.
