%N Lexicographically first sequence of distinct terms such that the absolute differences |a(n) - a(n+1)| are A002113(n+1), where A002113 is "the palindromes in base 10".

%C The sequence starts with a(1) = 1 and is always extended with the smallest integer not yet present that doesn't lead to a contradiction.

%e |1 - 2| = 1, which is the 2nd palindrome of A002113 (the 1st one being "0");

%e |2 - 4| = 2 which is the 3rd palindrome;

%e |4 - 7| = 3 which is the 4th palindrome;

%e |7 - 3| = 4 which is the 5th palindrome;

%e |3 - 8| = 5 which is the 6th palindrome;
