Reminder: The OEIS is hiring a new managing editor, and the application deadline is January 26.

Lexicographically earliest sequence starting with a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 2 such that two consecutive terms of opposite parity are followed by their sum; else (same parity), by the smallest term not yet in the sequence.

%e The sequence starts with 1,2,3,5,4,9,13,6,19,25,7,... and we see that:

%e a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 2 being of opposite parity are followed by their sum (3);

%e a(2) = 2 and a(3) = 3 being of opposite parity are followed by their sum (5);

%e a(3) = 3 and a(4) = 5 being of the same parity are followed by the smallest term not yet in the sequence (4);

%e a(4) = 5 and a(5) = 4 being of opposite parity are followed by their sum (9);

%e a(5) = 4 and a(6) = 9 being of opposite parity are followed by their sum (13);

%e a(6) = 9 and a(7) = 13 being of the same parity are followed by the smallest term not yet in the sequence (6);

%e etc.
