Suppose that s is an increasing sequence of positive integers, that the complement t of s is infinite, and that t(1)=1. The dispersion of s is the array D whose n-th row is (t(n), s(t(n)), s(s(t(n))), s(s(s(t(n)))), ...). Every positive integer occurs exactly once in D, so that, as a sequence, D is a permutation of the positive integers. The sequence u given by u(n) = {index of the row of D that contains n} is a fractal sequence. In this case s(n) = A016789(n-1), t(n) = A032766(n) [from term A032766(1) onward] and u(n) = A253887(n).

This is transposed dispersion of (3n-1), starting from its complement A032766 as the first row of square array A(row,col). Please see the transposed array A191450 for references and background discussion about dispersions.

For any odd number x = A135765(row,col), the result after one combined Collatz step (3x+1)/2 -> x (A165355) is found in this array at A(row+1,col).

A(n,k) = A048673(A254053(n,k)). [Alternative formula.]
A(n,k) = (1/2) * (1 + A003961((2^(n-1)) * A254050(k))). [The above expands to this.]
A(n,k) = (1/2) * (1 + (A000244(n-1) * A007310(k))). [Which further reduces to this, equivalent to L. Edson Jeffery's original formula above.]
A(1,k) = A032766(k) and for n > 1: A(n,k) = (3 * A254051(n-1,k)) - 1. [The definition of transposed dispersion of (3n-1).]
A(n,k) = (1+A135765(n,k))/2, or when expressed one-dimensionally, a(n) = (1+A135765(n))/2.
A(n+1,k) = A165355(A135765(n,k)).
As a composition of related permutations. All sequences interpreted as one-dimensional:
a(n) = A048673(A254053(n)). [Proved above.]

For n >= 1, a(n) gives the distance of n in square array A191450 from its leftmost column.
The sequence 0,1,0,0,0,2,0,...,i.e., (a(n)) with the first term removed, is the unique fixed point of the constant length 3 morphism N -> 0 N+1 0 on the infinite alphabet {0,1,...,N,...}. - Michel Dekking, Sep 09 2022
a(n) is the number of trailing 1 digits of n-1 written in ternary, for n>=1. - Kevin Ryde, Sep 09 2022
