A278233 Filter-sequence for GF(2)[X]-factorization: sequence that gives the least natural number with the same prime signature that (0, 1)-polynomial encoded in the binary expansion of n has when it is factored over GF(2).

Examples
3 is "11" in binary, encodes polynomial x + 1, and 7 is "111" in binary, encodes polynomial x^2 + x + 1, both which are irreducible over GF(2). We can multiply their codes with carryless multiplication A048720 as A048720(3,7) = 9, A048720(9,3) = 27, A048720(9,7) = 63. Now a(27) = a(63) because the exponents occurring in both codes 27 and 63 are one 1 and two 2's, and their order is not significant when computing prime signature. Moreover a(27) = a(63) = 12 because that is the least number with a prime signature (1,2) in the more familiar domain of natural numbers. a(25) = 2, because 25 is "11001" in binary, encoding polynomial x^4 + x^3 + 1, which is irreducible in the ring GF(2)[X], i.e., 25 is in A014580, whose initial term is 2.

Scheme
(define (A278233 n) (A046523 (A091203 n)))
Formula
a(n) = A046523(A091203(n)) = A046523(A091205(n)) = A046523(A235042(n)). [Because of the "sorting" essentially performed by A046523, any map from GF(2)[X] to Z can be used, as long as it is fully (cross-)multiplicative and preserves also the exponents intact.]
