COMMENT

m=2 gives an addition sequence alternating ones, but all the sequences of m to m=10 seem to give new sequences. It seems a comment on human history in its cycles. I was inspired by Per Bak, but his definition is a random/ probabilistic one for sand pile collapse: here the collapse is sure and has a definite cycle length.

FORMULA

a[n] =If[Mod[n, m]==0, a[n-2], a[n-1]+a[n-2]]

MATHEMATICA

m=3 fib[n_Integer?Positive] :=fib[n] =If[Mod[n, m]==0, fib[n-2], fib[n-1]+fib[n-2]] fib[0]=fib[1] = fib[2] = 1 digits=50 a=Table[fib[n], {n, 1, digits}]
