COMMENTS
A Gaussian integer z = x+iy is in the first quadrant if x > 0, y >= 0. Just one of the 4 associates z, -z, i*z, -i*z is in the first quadrant.
The sequence is fully additive.

EXAMPLE
5 factors into the product of the primes 1+2*i, 1-2*i, but the first-quadrant associate of 1-2*i is i*(1-2*i) = 2+i, so r+i*s = 1+2*i + 2+i = 3+3*i. Therefore a(5) = 3.
