Nonlinearity of a Boolean function is its minimum Hamming distance to the elements of the set of affine Boolean functions.
In this sequence, n represents the truth table of a Boolean function.
There are 2^2^4 = 65536 terms in this list, i.e. the number of 4-variable Boolean functions.
This is also the list of first 2^2^4 terms of r-th order nonlinearity values of (r+3)-variables Boolean functions ordered lexicographically.

EXAMPLE
n in GF(2^4)
a(1)=a((0000000000000001)_2)=1;
a(5)=a((0000000000000101)_2)=2;
a(15)=a((0000000000001111)_2)=0;
This can also be written as a triangle, though contains outliers in later iterations:
0,
1,
1,2,
1,2,2,3,
1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,
1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,3,
1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,3,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,3,3,4,4,3,4,3,3,2...
