I wonder whether phi is unique in that every one of its powers has, as
the nearest integer to it, a term in its sequence; and no term in the
sequence is not the nearest integer to one of its powers.
phi^3 doesn't work, owing to the first, second, and fourth terms,
although for n>2 the sign of log_(phi^3)(a(n)) does alternate as n
increases.
a(n) log_(phi^3)(a(n))
