COMMENTS
After the digit 0 that starts the sequence, we have the 2nd digit of the sequence that is > 0, then the 3rd digit that is > the 2nd digit, then the 4th digit that is < the 3rd digit, the 5th digit that is < the 4th digit, etc. Considering the sequence from the digit-size point of view, we could see it as a kind of roller coaster going up two steps, than down two steps, than up a again two steps, etc.
