Also BII-numbers of set-systems (sets of nonempty sets) contradicting a strict version of the axiom of choice.

A binary index of n (row n of A048793) is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary digits (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.

The axiom of choice says that, given any set of nonempty sets Y, it is possible to choose a set containing an element from each. The strict version requires this set to have the same cardinality as Y, meaning no element is chosen more than once.

Examples

			The set-system {{1},{2},{1,2},{1,3}} with BII-number 23 has choices (1,2,1,1), (1,2,1,3), (1,2,2,1), (1,2,2,3), but none of these has all different elements, so 23 is in the sequence.
The terms together with the corresponding set-systems begin:
   7: {{1},{2},{1,2}}
  15: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3}}
  23: {{1},{2},{1,2},{1,3}}
  25: {{1},{3},{1,3}}
  27: {{1},{2},{3},{1,3}}
  29: {{1},{1,2},{3},{1,3}}
  30: {{2},{1,2},{3},{1,3}}
  31: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3},{1,3}}
  39: {{1},{2},{1,2},{2,3}}
  42: {{2},{3},{2,3}}
  43: {{1},{2},{3},{2,3}}
  45: {{1},{1,2},{3},{2,3}}
  46: {{2},{1,2},{3},{2,3}}
  47: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3},{2,3}}
  51: {{1},{2},{1,3},{2,3}}
