For any base b > 1:
- let s_b be the alternate sum of digits in base b,
- in particular s_2 = A065359, s_3 = A065368 and s_10 = A225693,
- we can build an analog of this sequence, say f_b, by considering s_b instead of A065368,
- f_b is well defined: for any k > 0, s_b(k * (1 + b^(2*i + 1))) = 0 whenever k < b^(2*i + 1), hence we can always extend the sequence,
- f_b is conjectured to be a permutation of the natural numbers,
- the scatterplot of f_b shows lines that seem related to the value of s_b(f_b) mod b+1.
See A302544 for a similar sequence.

			The first terms, alongside the ternary representation of a(n) * a(n+1), are:
  n  a(n)    tern(a(n) * a(n+1))
