Comments

The curve is built by successively applying the following substitution to an initial vector (1, 0) (the two vertical copies are horizontally flipped):

*

.------>.

^ |

|* *|

* | v *

.------>. .------>.

The quadratic Koch curve is built without horizontal flip.

Formula

a(5^k-m) = a(m) for any k >= 0 and m = 0..5^k.

Example

The curve starts as follows:
                     +---+
                     |12 |13
                     |   |
                 +---+   +---+
                 |10  11  14 |15
                 |           |
                 +---+   +---+
                  9  |8  |17  16
                     |   |
         +---+   +---+   +---+   +---+
         |2  |3  |6   7   18 |19 |22 |23
         |   |   |           |   |   |
     +---+   +---+           +---+   +---+
      0   1   4   5           20  21  24  25
- so a(0) = a(1) = a(4) = a(5) = a(20) = a(21) = a(24) = a(25) = 0,
     a(8) = a(9) = a(16) = a(17) = 2.
