This is to A060000 as tribonacci A000073 is to Fibonacci A000045. Let H be the set of positive numbers less than a(n) which are not equal to some a(i), i < n. This H is the 'set of holes so far'. If H is nonempty, then define a(n+1) = minimum(H). Otherwise define a(n+1) = a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n). Permutation of the natural numbers with inverse not yet in the OEIS. The new record highs reached in the sequence (analogous to A060013) begin 1, 2, 3, 5, 12, 30, 84, 246. Note that 30 = 3*12-6, 84 = 3*30-6, 246 = 3*84-6.
