OEIS on vacation in December

[Jonathan Post]

I especially like the example: "Marc LeBrun and his 'numbral' ..." [as in
A048888]

This was analyzed in The Journal of Integer Sequences, and turns out to be a
very deep discovery.

Interpretations<http://www.emis.de/journals/JIS/VOL9/Frosini/fros2.pdf>

I also like the other examples cited, many of Antti Karttunen's sequences,
and have enjoyed the best of Zak's work.  We are all evolving.  And, to
repeat, in the context of the publication cited above, beautiful is as
beautful does.
