Comments

Empirical observations:

The sequence starting with a single row of ON cells is A266382.

Every 2^n-1 step of iteration generates the biggest gap (g) between two rows.

The prime factors for numbers in this sequence up to the 31st term are: 3,7,11,17,19,31,43,257,331,5419,65537,715827883,77158673929.

Examples

			0th iteration = 11 = 3, 1st iteration = 1001 = 9, 2nd iteration = 111111 = 63, 3rd iteration = 10000001 = 129, 4th iteration = 1110000111 = 903, 5th iteration = 100010010001, 6th iteration = 11101111110111......
