I just sent a message to Neil that will hopefully clarify the meaning of
A066313.
The fourth message in the discussion worked out the right interpretation.
To make it clearer, I'm suggestion a definition that uses only necklace
and not bracelet, since the structure cannont be turned over as one
can do with a bracelet, it can only be turned over if the colors are
simultaneously flipped. The actual change I am suggesting has a title
Number of aperiodic necklaces with n red or blue beads such that two necklaces
are equivalent under the operation (turn necklace over and switch the two
colors).
and an example:
The equivalence requires the "turning over" operation and the "switching
colors" operation to be simultaneous; thus rrrbbrrb is equivalent to rbbrrbbb,
but not to bbbrrbbr.
