COMMENTS
The powers of the Gray code permutation (GCP, A003188) form an infinite array, where row n is the n-th power of the GCP. Row 0 is the identity permutation (i.e., the sequence of nonnegative integers), and row 1 is the GCP itself.
The different powers of the n-bit GCP form a matrix of size (A062383(n-1)) X (2^n).
This sequence represents the infinite array in a somewhat redundant way: It shows the rows of all the (2^n) X (2^2^n) matrices of powers of (2^n)-bit GCP. So this sequence forms a triangle, and these 3 matrices are its first 7 rows:
The 1-bit GCP is the identity permutation:
0: 0 1
The 2 different powers of the 2-bit GCP:
0: 0 1 2 3
1: 0 1 3 2
The 4 different powers of the 4-bit GCP:
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1: 0 1 3 2 6 7 5 4 12 13 15 14 10 11 9 8
2: 0 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 10 11 8 9 15 14 13 12
3: 0 1 3 2 7 6 4 5 15 14 12 13 8 9 11 10
.
This array A can be defined using the binary array B = A197819 by
A = B + 2 * 2stretched(B) + 4 * 4stretched(B) + 8 * 8stretched(B) + ...
where nstretched has the following meaning:
2stretched(1,2,3,4,...) = 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,...
4stretched(1,2,3,4,...) = 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,...
etc.
