COMMENT

A set is 3-fold-free if it does not contain any subset of the form {x, 3x}.

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 36. There are 64 subsets of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. We exclude the 16 that contain {1, 3} and the 16 that contain {2, 6}. We've double-counted the 4 that contain {1, 2, 3, 6}. This yields 64 - 16 - 16 + 4 = 36.
