This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A091024 Let v(0) be the column vector (1,0,0,0)'; for n>0, let v(n) = [1 1 1 1 / 1 1 1 0 / 1 1 0 0/ 1 0 0 0] v(n-1). Sequence gives third entry of v(n).

First entry of v(n) gives 1,1,4,10,30,85 = A006357 prefixed with an initial 1, the second entry gives 0,1,3,9,26,... = A076264 prefixed with an initial 0.
A sequence derived from 9-gonal diagonal ratios.
a(n)/a(n-1) converges to D = 2.879385... = longest 9-Gon diagonal with edge = 1. E.g., a(7)/a(6) = 707/246 = 2.873983...(a(n)/a(n-1) of all 4 columns converge to 2.8739...). For each row, left to right, terms converge upon 9-Gon ratios: (2.879...):(2.53208...):(1.87938...):(1) Example: row 7 = 707 622 462 246, from A006357, A076264, A091024 and A006357(offset), respectively. The ratios 707/246, 622/246, 462/246 and 246/246 are: (2.8739...):(2.528...):(1.87804...):(1)
From L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 15 2011: (Start)
In fact, the above ratios (2.8739...):(2.528...):(1.87804...):(1) converge to Q_3(w):Q_2(w):Q_1(w):Q_0(w), where the polynomials Q_r(w) are defined by Q_r(w)=w*Q_(r-1)(w)-Q_(r-2)(w) (r>1), Q_0(w)=1, Q_1(w)=w, and w=2*cos(Pi/9).
Moreover, this sequence and a variant of its g.f. are related to rhombus substitution tilings showing 9-fold rotational symmetry (cf. A187503, A187504, A187505, A187506). (End)

Note that A_r-2*A_(r-1)-3*A_(r-2)+A_(r-3)+A_(r-4)={0,0,0,0}, for r>=4. Let p={p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4}={-1,0,1,2} and n=3*r+p_i. Then a(n)=a(3*r+p_i)=m_(i,1), where M=(m_(i,j))=(U_3)^r was defined above. Hence the block A_r corresponds component-wise to the first column of M, and a(3*r+p_i)=m_(i,1) gives the quantity of H_(9,1,0) tiles that should appear in a subdivided H_(9,i,r) tile.
Since a(3*r+2)=a(3*(r+1)-1) for all r, this sequence arises by concatenation of first-column entries m_(2,1), m_(3,1) and m_(4,1) of M=(U_3)^r.
This sequence is a nontrivial extension of both A038197 and A187506.
