Examples
The first record of height difference is between the levels 1 and 2 of the pyramid (starting from the top), at the point (1,1) of the main diagonal of the top view of the pyramid, so a(1) = 1. The second record of height difference is between the levels 2 and 4, at the point (2,2) of the main diagonal of the top view of the pyramid, so a(2) = 2. The third record of height difference is between the levels 9 and 12, at the point (7,7) of the main diagonal of the top view of the pyramid, so a(3) = 7. The fourth record of height difference is between the levels 20 and 24, at the point (15,15) of the main diagonal of the top view of the pyramid, so a(4) = 15. Illustration of the diagram of the symmetries of sigma (n = 1..16), which is also the top view of the pyramid described in A245092, and it is also a quadrant of the top view of the pyramid described in A244050: . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . |_| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | . |_ _|_| | | | | | | | | | | | | | . |_ _| _|_| | | | | | | | | | | | . |_ _ _| _|_| | | | | | | | | | . |_ _ _| _| _ _|_| | | | | | | | . |_ _ _ _| _| | _ _|_| | | | | | . |_ _ _ _| |_ _|_| _ _|_| | | | . |_ _ _ _ _| _| | _ _ _|_| | . |_ _ _ _ _| | _|_| | _ _ _| . |_ _ _ _ _ _| _ _| _| | . |_ _ _ _ _ _| | _| _| _| . |_ _ _ _ _ _ _| |_ _| _| . |_ _ _ _ _ _ _| | _ _| . |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| | . |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| | . |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| ...
