COMMENTS
A pit is an index i such that d(i-1) > d(i) < d(i+1); a peak is an index i such that d(i-1) < d(i) > d(i+1). The sequences A296864-A296866 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296882 and A296712.

EXAMPLE
The base-4 digits of 373 are 1,1,3,1,1; here #(pits) = 0 and #(peaks) = 2, so 373 is in the sequence.
