Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Lexicographically earliest sequence of increasing numbers whose digits satisfy the "Fractal Jump" rule using only the digits 2 and 5: keep the first digit "d" of the sequence, then jump over the next "d" digits and keep the digit "e" on which you have landed. Jump now over the next "e" digits and keep the digit "f" on which you have landed, etc. The succession "def..." of kept digits is the sequence itself.
