COMMENTS
Let S be the set of numbers defined by these rules: 1 is in S, and if x is in S, then x + 1 and 2*x + 2 are in S. Then S is the set of positive integers, which arise in generations. Deleting duplicates as they occur, the generations are given by g(1) = (1), g(2) = (2,4), g(3) = (3,6,5,10), etc. Concatenating these gives A232642, a permutation of the positive integers. For n > 1, the number of numbers in g(n) is 2*F(n+1), where F = A000045, the Fibonacci numbers. It is helpful to show the results as a tree with the terms of S as nodes, an edge from x to x + 1 if x + 1 has not already occurred, and an edge from x to 2*x + 2 if 2*x + 2 has not already occurred.

EXAMPLE
Each x begets x + 1 and 2*x + 2, but if either has already occurred it is deleted. Thus, 1 begets 2 and 4; then 2 begets 3 and 6, and 4 begets 5 and 10, so that g(3) = (3,6,5,10).
First 5 generations, also showing the places where duplicates were removed:
. 1: 1
. 2: 2 4
. 3: 3 6 5 10
. 4: _ 8 7 14 _ 12 11 22
. 5: _ __ 9 18 _ 16 15 30 _ __ 13 26 __ 24 23 46
These are the corresponding complete rows of triangle A082560:
. 1: 1
. 2: 2 4
. 3: 3 6 5 10
. 4: 4 8 7 14 6 12 11 22
. 5: 5 10 9 18 8 16 15 30 7 14 13 26 12 24 23 46
