In the Eden growth model, there is a single initial unit square cell in the plane and more squares are added one at a time, selected randomly among those squares that share an edge with one of the already existing squares, with probabilities proportional to the number of already existing squares with which the new square shares an edge. This seems to be the version described in Eden (1961). See A367671 for another version.
Can be read as an irregular triangle, whose n-th row contains A000105(n) terms, n >= 1.

EXAMPLE
As an irregular triangle:
1;
1;
2, 1;
1, 1, 1, 1, 1;
2, 1, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 7, 7, 1, 1, 1;
...
For n = 7, the T-tetromino has binary code A246521(n+1) = 27. It can be obtained either via the straight tromino (probability 1/3 * 1/4) or via the L-tromino (probability 2/3 * 1/4), so the probability of obtaining the T-tetromino is 1/12 + 1/6 = 1/4 and a(7) = 1.
