%N Decimal representation of the n-th iteration of the "Rule 22" elementary cellular automaton starting with a single ON (black) cell.

%C Empirical observation: This sequence can also be generated in Conway's Game of Life by setting the initial condition to be an infinite row of ON cells in both directions. After each iteration, rows of cells turned ON will be labeled as 1 and rows that are OFF will be labeled 0. When the resulting binary number is converted to decimal notation, the resulting sequence is the same as A266382. [_Brook Estifanos_, Mar 09 2016]
