Base-7 variant of Knuth's A220952, i.e., two numbers a, b are adjacent iff for all i > j, the pairs (a_i,a_j) and (b_i,b_j) (where indices denote base-7 digits: a = Sum_{k>=0} a_k*7^k), are equal or neighbors in the following graph:

It turns out that for any positive integer there are exactly two other adjacent nonnegative integers, and this sequence in which (a(n),a(n+1)) are pairs of adjacent integers, defines a permutation of the nonnegative integers.
The analog graph for base-3 would yield more than two other adjacent numbers for some n, e.g., n = 5 would be adjacent to 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8. For even bases there is not an exact analog of this graph.
