COMMENTS
Note that the sequence up to a(n) (for its current known values) is actually the path of a(n) in reverse until it reaches square 2. It is therefore conjectured that all starting squares in A324274 either have a finite length or are part of this single sequence.
FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 09 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x*(2 + 7*x + 3*x^2 + 6*x^3 - x^5 + x^6) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)^2*(1 + x^2)).
a(n) = (5 + 7*(-1)^n + (2-2*i)*(-i)^n + (2+2*i)*i^n + (26+6*(-1)^n)*n + 18*n^2) / 16 where i=sqrt(-1).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) - a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7.
