If you break A322049 to an irregular triangle so that rows start with n = 2^k,
then another two limit sequences will appear from buried under about two
layers of disorder:

L1: 8, 49, 33, 165, 46, 270, 91, 436, 55, 300, 157, 781, 149, 787 . . .
L2: 8, 45, 34, 166, 49, 273, 91, 435, 57, 303, 157, 774, 151, 790 . . .

Sequences L1 and L2 are negligibly different, alternate between even/odd k,
and look resilient to functional analysis (even allowing for recursion).

Another set of probably easier questions involves characterization of the
underlying fractal geometry. Toward that end, I've added a comment to
A319018 and a new picture with log-periodic coloring :

I didn't see any notes--is the identity A322050(2^k+1)=1 proven, or only
an assertion thus far? Proving the fractal structure could be a nice first
step leading into a comparison with aperiodic substitution tilings.

Cheers,

Brad
