%N a(n) is taken to be the smallest positive integer greater than a(n-1) which is consistent with the condition "n is a member of the sequence if and only if a(n) is a square".

%C Also, a(n) is smallest nonnegative integer which is consistent with sequence being monotonically increasing and satisfying a(a(n)) = n^2.
