%N Concatenation of increasing number of alternating digits in base 2, starting with 0.

%C The first 5 terms in base 2 are 0, (0)11, (0)11000, (0)110001111, (0)11000111100000.

%F a(1) = 0; a(n+1) = append n+1 0's or 1's (alternately) to a(n).

%e a(5) = 12768 is formed by appending 0 five times (00000) to a(4) in base 2: (0)11000111100000.
