%e From n = 12 we can reach any of the following numbers > 0: 12 (with an empty sequence of transitions), 8 (as A051953(12) = 8), 4 (as A009195(12) = A009195(8) = A051953(8) = 4), 2 (as A009195(4) = A051953(4) = 2) and 1 (as A009195(2) = A051953(2) = 1), thus a(12) = 5.
%e The directed acyclic graph formed from those two transitions with 12 as its unique root looks like this:
