%C A202024 After the first 16 terms, ending with ...,4,2,2,2,6, the sequence appears to consist entirely of 2's and 4's, with the spacing between successive 4's being 1,4,2,4,3,4,4,4,5,4,6,4,7,4,8,4,9,4,10,4,..., one bisection of which is 1,2,3,4,...,n,...  This has been verified for the first 1000 terms.
%e A202024 Integers of the form k^2+k+1 for positive integer k are {3,7,13,21,...}.  Assume that a(1)-a(3) have been determined as {1,1,4}. Then a(4)=1 gives consecutive terms 1,1,4,1 summing to 7, which is prohibited; a(4)=2 gives 1+4+2=7; a(4)=3 gives 4+3=7; but a(4)=4 is OK, giving no sum of consecutive terms equaling 3,7,13,...  Thus a(4)=4.
