COMMENTS

This is the smallest difference that occurs between any nonzero digit's radix (which is one more than its one-based position from the right) and that digit's value in the factorial base representation of n. See A225901 and the example.
a(0) = 0 by convention, as there are no nonzero digits present, and neither does 0 occur in arrays A276953 & A276955.

FORMULA

a(0) = 0, and for n >= 1: if A276950(n) = 1, then a(n) = 1, otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A266193(n)).
Other identities. For all n >= 0:

EXAMPLE
|
For n=8, its factorial base representation (A007623) is "110", where the radix for each digit position 1, 2, 3 (from the right) is 2, 3, 4 (one larger than the position). For the 1 in the middle position the difference is 3-1 = 2, while for the 1 at the left we obtain 4-1 = 3. Of these two differences 2 is smaller, thus a(8)=2.
