An irregular fractal sequence: underline all terms that share at least one digit with the preceding one. All underlined terms rebuild the starting sequence. (See the Comments section for more details.)

COMMENTS
The sequence S starts with a(1) = 0 and a(2) = 1. S is extended by duplicating the first term A among the not yet duplicated terms, under the condition that A shares at least one digit with the last term Z of the sequence. If A doesn't share any digit with Z, we then extend the sequence with the smallest integer X not yet present in S and not sharing a digit with Z.

EXAMPLE
After S = 0, 1, ... we cannot extend S with 0 (first not yet duplicated term) because 0 doesn't share any digit with 1: S is then extended with 2 (because 2 is the smallest integer not yet present in S that doesn't share a digit with 1);
After S = 0, 1, 2, ... we still cannot extend S with 0: S is then extended with 3 (because 3 is the smallest integer not yet present in S that doesn't share a digit with 2);
After S = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... we still cannot extend S with 0: S is then extended with 4 (because 4 is the smallest integer not yet present in S that doesn't share a digit with 3);
[...]
After S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ... we must extend S with 0 as 0 shares a digit with 10;
After S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 0, ... we cannot extend S with 1 (first not yet duplicated term) because 1 doesn't share any digit with 0: S is then extended with 11 (because 11 is the smallest integer not yet present in S that doesn't share a digit with 0);
After S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 0, 11, ... we must extend S with 1 as 1 shares a digit with 11;
After S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 0, 11, 1, ... we cannot extend S with 2 (next not yet duplicated term) because 2 doesn't share any digit with 1: S is then extended with 20 (because 20 is the smallest integer not yet present in S that doesn't share a digit with 1);
etc.
