Comments

Let "N_b" denote "N read in base b" and let "N" denote "N written in base 10" (as in normal life). The sequence is given by 16, 16_32, 16_(32_64), 16_(32_(64_128)), etc., or in other words

......16....16.....16.....16.......etc.

..............32.....32.....32.........

.......................64.....64.......

................................128....

where the subscripts are evaluated from the bottom upwards

More precisely, "N_b" means "Take decimal expansion of N and evaluate it as if it were a base-b expansion".

The next term is too large to include.

A "dungeon" of numbers.
