COMMENTS
Also BII-numbers of set-systems (sets of nonempty sets) satisfying a strict version of the axiom of choice.
A binary index of k (row k of A048793) is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. We define the set-system with BII-number k to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of k. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary digits (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.
The axiom of choice says that, given any set of nonempty sets Y, it is possible to choose a set containing an element from each. The strict version requires this set to have the same cardinality as Y, meaning no element is chosen more than once.

EXAMPLE
The set-system {{2,3},{1,2,3},{1,4}} with BII-number 352 has choices such as (2,1,4) that satisfy the axiom, so 352 is in the sequence.
The terms together with the corresponding set-systems begin:
1: {{1}}
2: {{2}}
3: {{1},{2}}
4: {{1,2}}
5: {{1},{1,2}}
6: {{2},{1,2}}
8: {{3}}
9: {{1},{3}}
10: {{2},{3}}
11: {{1},{2},{3}}
12: {{1,2},{3}}
13: {{1},{1,2},{3}}
14: {{2},{1,2},{3}}
16: {{1,3}}
17: {{1},{1,3}}
