%N a(n) is the X-coordinate of the n-th point of a variant of the quadratic Koch curve. Sequence A340328 gives Y-coordinates.

%C The curve is built by successively applying the following substitution to an initial vector (1, 0) (we have 4 copies and a horizontal unit vector):

%C .-.

%C ^ |

%C | |

%C | v

%C .------>. .------>.

%C The curve visits once or twice every lattice point (x, y) such that 0 <= y <= x.

%C The quadratic Koch curve is built from 5 copies at each step.
