COMMENTS
The sequence has increasingly long runs of consecutive integers, followed by a roughly 10 times larger jump. Therefore the graph looks like a (roughly self-similar) staircase with increasingly larger steps, which however become smaller (closer to a straight line) upon "zooming out". - M. F.
