A328377 a(n) is the number of "generalized signotopes", i.e., mappings X:{{1..n} choose 3}->{+,-} such that for any four indices a < b < c < d, the sequence X(a,b,c), X(a,b,d), X(a,c,d), X(b,c,d) changes its sign at most twice (equivalently +-+- and -+-+ are forbidden).

Clearly a generalization of "signotopes" (cf. A006245), i.e., mappings X:{{1..n} choose 3}->{+,-} such that for any four indices a < b < c < d, the sequence X(a,b,c), X(a,b,d), X(a,c,d), X(b,c,d) changes its sign at most once (see Felsner-Weil and Balko-Fulek-Kynčl reference).
Also a generalization of "simple topological drawings" (a.k.a. good drawings, cf. A276109), i.e., non-isomorphic drawings of the complete graph K_n such that any two edges intersect at most once. In a simple topological drawings, each three vertices a < b < c determine a triangle which is either oriented clockwise or counterclockwise -- this clearly motivates the mapping X. It can be checked that in any simple topological drawing of K_4, the sequence X(a,b,c), X(a,b,d), X(a,c,d), X(b,c,d) changes its sign at most twice.
Also known as "Interior triple systems", see Knuth's book.

The zonotope Z(D,d) is the projection of the D-dimensional hypercube onto the d-dimensional space and the tiles are the projections of the d-dimensional faces of the hypercube. Here the codimension, i.e., D-d, is constant = 4 and d >= 0.
Also the number of signotopes on r+3 elements of rank r. A signotope on n elements of rank r is a mapping X:{{1..n} choose r}->{+,-} such that for any r+1 indices I={i_0,...,i_r} with i_0 < i_1 < ... < i_r, the sequence X(I-i_0), X(I-i_1), ..., X(I-i_r) changes its sign at most once (see Felsner-Weil reference).

			For any Z(d,d), there is a unique tiling therefore the first term of the series is 0. Likewise, there are always two tilings of Z(d+1,d) with a flip between them, therefore the second term of the series is 1.

			For any d, the only possible tile for Z(d,d) is Z(d,d) itself, therefore the first term of the series is 1. It is well known that there are always two d-tilings of Z(d+1,d), therefore the second term is 2. More examples are available on my web page.
