%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers such that the terms and their absolute first differences are all distinct and no term is the sum of two distinct earlier terms.

%C The sequence of absolute first differences begins: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 17, 11, 14, 10, 15, 16, 33, 23, 21, 38, 19, 25, 13, 36, 27, 32, 40, ... .

%C The sequence is 0-additive.
