From Klaus Purath, Apr 16 2024: (Start)

This sequence is closed with respect to multiplication, which is valid for all recursive sequences (t) with constant coefficients (2,-1) and initial value t(0) = 1, t(n) = bn+1. Proof: (bn+1)*(b(n+1)+1) = b*(bn^2 + bn + 2n + 1) + 1, which can be verified by expanding both sides of the equation.

a(2n^2-1) = A000466(n) is the product of two consecutive terms a(n-1)*a(n).

For any two consecutive terms (a(n), a(n+1)) = (x,y): x^2 - 2xy + y^2 = 2^2 = A000290(2).

In general, the following applies to all recursive sequences (t) with constant

coefficients (2,-1) and two consecutive terms (x,y): x^2 - 2xy + y^2 = A000290(t(1)-t(0)).

By analogy to this, for three consecutive terms (x,y,z) of any recursive sequence

(t) of the form (2,-1): y^2 - xz = A000290(t(1)-t(0)).

If (t) is a recursive sequence with the constant coefficients (3,-3,1) or (2,-1) including this sequence itself, then a(n) = [t(k+2n+1) - t(k)]/[t(k+n+1) - t(k+n)] always applies, k and n = integer. This algorithm works not only with the integer sequences mentioned, but also with the functions f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c or f(x) = bx + c. Then a(n) = [f(x+(2n+1)d) - f(x)]/[f(x+(n+1)d) - f(x+nd)] with a, b, c, d, x in R. And it works with the first differences of all them too. (End)

Klaus Purath: Regarding your first comment: This is not about the properties of odd numbers, wherever and however numerous they occur, but about the properties of this sequence here as a representative of the "family" (2,-1). 
Regarding your third comment: Why is "recursive" a bad word? I have used this expression several times, most recently in comments on A099867 Mar 07 2023, A108306 Mar 09 2023 and A164604 Mar 14 2024, all approved by NJA Sloane.  I think everyone will understand this wording in context. I deliberately chose the signatures (3,-3,1) and (2,-1) because I will return to them in a whole series of papers in preparation. I will show that my algorithm given here and a few similar ones also occur with numerous other integer sequences and also functions for which there is a recursion formula, but no or only a very sophisticated explicit construction formula, on the basis of which a generalization or comparison is impossible.
Please explain what do you mean by (1) "a simple product hiding behind a(etc)."; (2) "triangular sum hidden behind a(etc)."; (3) "OEIS-sim"? I am certainly not wrong when I say that this wording is very cryptic to the majority of general readers.
