A359215 Number of terms in S(n) that did not appear in previous trajectories, where S(n) is the trajectory of the mappings of x->A359194(x) starting with n and stopping when 0 is reached, -1 if 0 is never reached.

Examples
a(0) = 0 since n = 0. a(1) = 1 since S(1) = {1, 0}, but m = 0 appeared in S(0). a(2) = 1 since S(2) = {2, 1, 0}, but m = 1 appeared in S(1). a(3) = 11 since S(3) = {3, 6, 13, 24, 55, 90, 241, 300, 123, 142, 85, 0}, but m = 0 appeared in S(0). a(4) = 1 since S(4) = {4, 3, ...} but 3 appears in S(3), etc.
