%N Segmented numbers, or prime numbers of measurement.

%C The segmented numbers are the positive integers excluding those equal to the sum of two or more consecutive smaller terms. The prime numbers of measurement are their partial sums, cf. A002049. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jun 26 2019

%C Without the requirement that the smaller terms be consecutive, the sequence becomes the sequence of powers of 2 (A000079). - _Alonso del Arte_, Jan 25 2020

%F Andrews conjectures that lim_{n -> oo} n log n / (a(n) loglog n) = 1. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 01 2013

%e Although 5 is the sum of the terms 1 and 4, those prior terms are not consecutive, and therefore 5 is in the sequence.

%e 6 is not in the sequence because it is the sum of consecutive prior terms 2 and 4.

%e 7 is not in the sequence either because it is also the sum of consecutive prior terms, in this case 1, 2, 4.

%e 8 is in the sequence because no sum whatsoever of distinct prior terms adds up to 8.
