FORMULA
G.f.: x (x + x/(1 - x) + x^3 + x^5 + x^7) (conjectured).
For n > 9, a(n)=1 at least up to n = 20000.
It is conjectured that for all n>=10, a(n)=1.
A period-4 pattern of length-1 runs starting at row 26 forces a(n) = 1 for all n >= 26 (see image). - Charlie Neder, Dec 15 2018
EXAMPLE
The Rule-30 1D cellular automaton started from a single ON (.) cell generates the following triangle:
1 . a(1)= (0)
2 . . . a(2)= (0)
3 . . 0 0 . a(3)= (2)
4 . . 0 . . . . a(4)= (1)
5 . . 0 0 . 0 0 0 . a(5)= (2)
6 . . 0 . . . . 0 . . . a(6)= (1)
7 . . 0 0 . 0 0 0 0 . 0 0 . a(7)= (2)
8 . . 0 . . . . 0 0 . . . . . . a(8)= (1)
9 . . 0 0 . 0 0 0 . . . 0 0 0 0 0 . a(9)= (2)
10 . . 0 . . . . 0 . . 0 0 . 0 0 0 . . . a(10)=(1)
