This sequence is a variant of Recamán's sequence (A005132).
This sequence first differ from A005132 for n = 57: a(57) = 27 whereas A005132(57) = 87.
Up to about 1.7 million terms the sequence values are concentrated along lines of integer gradient - see the image of the first 100000 terms. However beyond that each of these lines splits into two which subsequently cross and form a pattern reminiscent of a Cat's Cradle figure. See the linked images of the first 2 million and 20 million terms. - Scott R. Shannon, Jan 18 2021
