a(n) is the "w" part of f(n) = Sum_{k>=0, d_k>0} w^(d_k-1) * (-2)^k where Sum_{k>=0} d_k * 4^k is the base-4 representation of n and w = -1/2 + sqrt(-3)/2 is a primitive cube root of unity; sequence A348910 gives "real" parts.

%C For any Eisenstein integer z = u + v*w (where u and v are integers), we call u the "real" part of z and v the "w" part of z.

%C The function f defines a bijection from the nonnegative integers to the Eisenstein integers.
