cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

A253079 a(n) = if n is even, number of ON cells at stage n of two-dimensional 5-neighbor outer totalistic cellular automaton defined by "Rule 489" or if n is odd, number of OFF cells.

%C A253079 If we subtract 1 and divide by 4, the result (A253080) almost looks like it should have a simple recurrence. It would be nice to know more.
