Comments

A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every set-system (finite set of finite nonempty sets of positive integers) has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.

A set-system is an antichain if no edge is a proper subset of any other.

Examples

			The sequence of terms together with their corresponding set-systems begins:
       0: {}
       1: {{1}}
       3: {{1},{2}}
      11: {{1},{2},{3}}
     139: {{1},{2},{3},{4}}
     820: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,4},{2,4}}
    2868: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,4},{2,4},{3,4}}
   35636: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,4},{2,4},{3,4},{5}}
  199476: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,4},{2,4},{3,4},{1,5},{2,5}}
  723764: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,4},{2,4},{3,4},{1,5},{2,5},{3,5}}
