a(1) = 0; thereafter a(n+1) = floor((a(n)+y)/2), where y is the number of numbers m < n such that a(m) = a(n).

COMMENTS
Variant of A340488, with XOR(a,y) replaced by floor((a+y)/2).
Every number appears, and their first occurrences are in increasing order.
Apparently, a(n) <= A343333(n) for all n.
