Starting from the second most significant bit, we continue complementing every second bit (in this case, not starting before at the thirdmost significant bit), as long as the first zero is encountered, which is also complemented if its distance to the most significant bit is even, after which the remaining bits are left intact. E.g. 121 = 1111001 in binary. Complementing its thirdmost significant bit and the first zero-bit two positions right of it (i.e. bit-2, 4 steps to the most significant bit, bit-6), we obtain "11011.." after which the rest of the bits stay same, so we get 1101101, which is 109's binary representation, thus a(121)=109. On the other hand, 125 = 1111101 in binary and the transducer complements the bits at positions 4 and 2, yielding 11010.. and then switches to the fixing state at the zero encounted at bit-position 1, without complementing it (as it is 5 steps from the msb) and the rest are fixed, so we get 1101001, which is 105's binary representation, thus a(125)=105.
