Comments

If n = 1 let e(n) be the leaf symbol "o". Given a positive integer n > 1 we construct a unique free pure symmetric multifunction e(n) with one atom by expressing n as a power of a number that is not a perfect power to a product of prime numbers: n = rad(x)^(prime(y_1) * ... * prime(y_k)) where rad = A007916. Then e(n) = e(x)[e(y_1), ..., e(y_k)]. For example, e(21025) = o[o[o]][o] because 21025 = rad(rad(1)^prime(rad(1)^prime(1)))^prime(1).

Example

e(21025) = o[o[o]][o] has depth 3 so a(21025) = 3.

Mathematica

nn=1000;
radQ[n_]:=If[n===1, False, GCD@@FactorInteger[n][[All, 2]]===1];
rad[n_]:=rad[n]=If[n===0, 1, NestWhile[#+1&, rad[n-1]+1, Not[radQ[#]]&]];
Clear[radPi]; Set@@@Array[radPi[rad[#]]==#&, nn];
exp[n_]:=If[n===1, "o", With[{g=GCD@@FactorInteger[n][[All, 2]]}, Apply[exp[radPi[Power[n, 1/g]]], exp/@Flatten[Cases[FactorInteger[g], {p_?PrimeQ, k_}:>ConstantArray[PrimePi[p], k]]]]]];
