Shifts and signs

The first 1124 sequence seems to exhibit great structure in its subsequences of the form [math]\displaystyle{ x_{p^k m} }[/math]. If [math]\displaystyle{ m \nmid p }[/math], we can often (subject to some anomalies) write

[math]\displaystyle{ x_{p^k m} = \eta(p,m) x_{p^{k+s(p,m)}} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \eta(p,m) = \pm 1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ s(p,m) \geq 0 }[/math].

This table shows the first few values of [math]\displaystyle{ \eta(p,m) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ s(p,m) }[/math]:
