A267682 is another quadratic, if(n%2==0, n^2 - (n-2)/2, n^2 - (n-1)/2),
or pick your favourite (-1)^n etc for the cases.  Its rule 201 is full
rows except a fixed size alternating bit in the middle so cumulative odd
integers which is squares, less a bit.  As you noticed the even/odd
cases are interleaved A054556 and A033951 spiral spokes N,S.  I don't
suppose there'd be a connection to the spiral beyond triangle row
lengths vs spiral cycle length.
