Examples
Ternary Pi is 10.01021101222201021100211... With no digits of ternary Pi, there are an equal number of zeros and ones. 1 is in the sequence because with the initial digit of ternary Pi, 1 has now taken the count lead over 0 (1-0). 3 is the next term because with 3 initial digits of ternary Pi, 0 has now taken the count lead over 1 (2-1). 8 is the next term because with 8 initial digits, 1 regains the count lead over 0 (4-3).
