%C For n >= 1, a(n) gives the distance of n in square array A191450 from its leftmost column.

%C The sequence 0,1,0,0,0,2,0,...,i.e., (a(n)) with the first term removed, is the unique fixed point of the constant length 3 morphism N -> 0 N+1 0 on the infinite alphabet {0,1,...,N,...}. - _Michel Dekking_, Sep 09 2022

%C a(n) is the number of trailing 1 digits of n-1 written in ternary, for n>=1. - _Kevin Ryde_, Sep 09 2022
