Comments

Refer to the construction rule used in A243618. For this case, the curvature is defined by (-1/k, 1/(k-1), 1), the circle radius will diverge to infinity (zero curvature). The integral curvatures appearing as periodic, i.e., 2, 6, 6, 10, 30, 42, 28, 12, ..., = A083482(k-1). The integral curvatures seem to align as some sequence, e.g., 3, 7, 13, 21, 31, 43, ..., = A002061(k) and 9, 25, 49, ..., = A016754(k-1). See illustration.
