Correction
b=A284939.

Let a=A080580 and A be the set of terms of a
Let b=A284939

b(n)=0 => n in A => a(n) = a(n-1)+2 => b(a(n-1)+2),b(a(n-1)+3) = 0,1

b(n)=1 => n not in A => a(n) = a(n-1)+4 => b(a(n-1)+2), b(a(n-1)+3),
b(a(n-1)+4), b(a(n-1)+5) = 1,1,0,1

One should be able to prove this rigorously using induction, since the
initial terms agree.
