COMMENTS
The first step is kept fixed, i.e., (0,0,0,0) -> (1,0,0,0).
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 135, because there are 6 (of A010575(3)/8=49) end points with Manhattan distance 1, (0,-1,0,0), (0,1,0,0), (0,0,-1,0), (0,0,1,0), (0,0,0,-1), (0,0,0,1), and the remaining 43 end points all have Manhattan distance 3, e.g., (3,0,0,0), (2,-1,0,0), ..., (1,-1,-1,0), ... 135 = 6*1 + 43*3.
