COMMENT

Sequence is a permutation of the positive integers.

EXAMPLE

For a(8) we want the a(4)th = 5th positive integer among those not equal to any of the first 7 terms of the sequence (those positive integers not equal to 1,2,3,5,4,8, or 6). Among those positive integers not equal to any the first 7 terms (which is the sequence 7,9,10,11,12,13...), 12 is the 5th. So a(8) = 12.

Now for a(9) we want the smallest positive integer that does not occur among the first 8 terms of the sequence. So a(9) = 7.
