%N A120643 Table T(n,k) = number of fractal initial sequences (where new values
are successive integers) of length n whose last term is k.
%C A120643 A fractal sequence is one where, when the first instance of each integer
is removed, the original sequence results. We require also that these
first instances occur in order: 1,1,2,3 is OK, but 1,1,3,2 is not.
A finite sequence is an initial subsequence of (uncountably many)
fractal sequences when the result after removing the first instance
of each number is an initial subsequence. The total number of such
sequences of length n is 2^{n-1}. At each index after the first,
the next value can be either a new value or a uniquely determined
repetition of some earlier value. Conjecture: column 1 of this array
is A007059.

%F A120643 If 2 <= n <= 2k-1, T(n,k) = C(n-2,k-2).
%e A120643 For n = 3, the 4 sequences are 1,1,1; 1,1,2; 1,2,1; and 1,2,3. Of these,
2 end in 1, 1 in 2 and 1 in 3, so row 3 is 2,1,1.
