COMMENTS
Here Fibonacci-like means a sequence following the Fibonacci recursion: b(n)=b(n-1)+b(n-2). These sequences modulo n cycle. The number of different cycles is A015134(n).
This sequence divided by n^2 is the average cycle length per different starting pairs modulo n, see A233248.
If n is in A064414, then a(n)/n^2 is the average distance between two neighboring multiples of n.
If n is in A064414, then a(n)/2n^2 is the average distance to the next zero over all starting pairs of remainders.

EXAMPLE
For n=4 there are four possible cycles: A trivial cycle of length 1: 0; two cycles of length 6: 0,1,1,2,3,1; and a cycle of length 3: 0,2,2. Hence, a(4)=1+9+36+36=82.
