%N a(n) is the Y-coordinate of the n-th point of the quadratic Koch curve. Sequence A332249 gives X-coordinates.

%C This sequence is the imaginary part of {f(n)} defined as:

%C - f(0) = 0,

%C - f(n+1) = f(n) + i^t(n)

%C where t(n) is the number of 1's minus the number of 3's

%C in the base 5 representation of n

%C and i denotes the imaginary unit.
