a(n) tells in what number we end in n steps, when we start climbing up the infinite trunk of the "factorial beanstalk" from its root (zero).
There are many finite sequences such as 0,1,2,4; 0,1,2,5,6; etc. obeying the same condition (see A219659) and as the length increases, so (necessarily) does the similarity to this infinite sequence.
See A007623 for the factorial number system representation.

    ;; This function is for checking whether n belongs to this sequence:

Formula

a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, and for n>1, if A226061(A230411(n)) = n then a(n) = A230411(n)!-1, otherwise a(n) = a(n+1) - A034968(a(n+1)).
a(n) = A230416(A230432(n)).

A231724 a(n) = the difference between the n-th node of the infinite trunk of the factorial beanstalk (A219666(n)) and the greatest integer (A219655(n)) which is as many A219651-iteration steps distanced from the root (zero); a(n) = A219655(n) - A219666(n).

Comments

For all n, the following holds: A219653(n) <= A219666(n) <= A219655(n). This sequence gives the distance of the node n in the infinite trunk of factorial beanstalk (A219666(n)) from the right (greater) edge of the A219654(n) wide window which it at that point must pass through.
This sequence relates to the factorial base representation (A007623) in the same way as A218604 relates to the binary system and similar remarks apply here.
