COMMENTS
In internal diffusion-limited aggregation on the square lattice, there is one initial cell in the origin. In each subsequent step, a new cell is added by starting a random walk at the origin, adding the first new cell visited. a(n)/A368387(n) is the probability that, when the appropriate number of cells have been added, those cells form the free polyomino with binary code A246521(n+1).
Can be read as an irregular triangle, whose n-th row contains A000105(n) terms, n >= 1.

FORMULA
a(n)/A368387(n) = (A368392(n)/A368393(n))*A335573(n+1).
EXAMPLE
As an irregular triangle:
1;
1;
2, 1;
8, 4, 17, 4, 2;
57, 5, 5, 5, 73, 5, 5, 73, 73, 5, 1, 5;
...
There are only one monomino and one free domino, so both of these appear with probability 1, and a(1) = a(2) = 1.
For three squares, the probability for an L (or right) tromino (whose binary code is 7 = A246521(4)) is 2/3, so a(3) = 2. The probability for the straight tromino (whose binary code is 11 = A246521(5)) is 1/3, so a(4) = 1.
