Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

"Inside numbers". Pick a term "t" and one of its digits "d". Now jump to the right over d digits if "d" is odd, and to the left over d digits if "d" is even. Whatever the "d" you choose, you will stay on "t".

%C The sequence is started with a(1) = 100 and always extended with the smallest integer not yet present and not leading to a contradiction.

%e Pick the digit "1" of the first term, 100. This "1" says that you should jump over 1 digit to the right (as "1" is odd). You'll land on the second "0" of 100.

%e Pick the leftmost digit "0" of the same term, 100. This "0" says that you should jump over 0 digit to the left (as "0" is even). You slide (land) on the "1" of 100.

%e Pick the rightmost digit "0" of 100. This "0" says that you should jump over 0 digit to the left (as "0" is even). You slide (land) on the first "0" of 100.

%e We see that any of those possible three movements leaves you "inside" the chosen term "t".

%Y Cf. A284591 (full inside numbers).
