COMMENTS
The sequence is constructed like A258033 is constructed: after partitioning A258033 into segments starting with 0, in each segment the greatest term is to be deleted (see example);
this sequence is fractal, i.e. if the first occurrence of each n is removed, the resulting sequence is the original sequence.
