COMMENTS
A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.
EXAMPLE
The sequence of all pairwise intersecting set-systems together with their BII-numbers begins:
0: {}
1: {{1}}
2: {{2}}
4: {{1,2}}
5: {{1},{1,2}}
6: {{2},{1,2}}
8: {{3}}
16: {{1,3}}
17: {{1},{1,3}}
20: {{1,2},{1,3}}
21: {{1},{1,2},{1,3}}
24: {{3},{1,3}}
32: {{2,3}}
34: {{2},{2,3}}
36: {{1,2},{2,3}}
38: {{2},{1,2},{2,3}}
40: {{3},{2,3}}
48: {{1,3},{2,3}}
52: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
56: {{3},{1,3},{2,3}}
