COMMENTS
a(n) is the total number of unit squares (A241682), 2 X 2 squares (A241683), 2 X 1 and 1 X 2 rectangles (A241684) that appear in the Thue-Morse logical matrices after n stages. See links for more details.
FORMULA
a(n) = A007590(A005578(n+1)).
Empirical g.f.: -2*x*(4*x^3-4*x^2-2*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x+1)*(2*x-1)*(2*x+1)*(4*x-1)). - Colin Barker, Apr 27 2014
a(n) = floor((2^(n + 2) + 3 - (-1)^n)^2/72). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 29 2017
