cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Question: Does every nonnegative integer appear in the sequence? Furthermore, does every nonnegative integer appear an infinite number of times?

Examples

			For n = 1, we have a(1) = a(a(0))-1 mod 2 = a(0)-1 mod 2 = 0-1 mod 2 = 1.
For n = 20, assume we already know that a(19) = 13 and a(13) = 7. Then a(20) = a(a(19))-1 mod 21 = a(13)-1 mod 21 = 6.
For n = 23, assume we already know that a(22) = 2 and a(2) = 0. Then a(23) = a(a(22))-1 mod 24 = a(2)-1 mod 24 = -1 mod 24 = 23.
