Hi seqfans,

Following the earlier thread (see below), Ali Sada and I have agreed the
best place to start is a sequence as envisaged in the second comment in
A078943. I have devised a definition and am prepared to conjecture the
resulting sequence is a permutation. If anyone wants to contribute, this
is being drafted as A356080.

 Thank you, Peter. I think it's the same. The difference might be that we
could start with any positive integer if 1 doesn't work.

I think you might be trying to create something like the inverse of the
sequence envisaged in the second comment in A078943?
