%N Permutation of the positive integers derived from the terms of A322469 having the form 6*k - 2.

%C The sequence is the flattened form of an irregular table U(i, j) similar to table T(i, j) in A322469. U(i, j) = k is defined only for the elements T(i, j) which have the form 6*k - 2, so the table is sparsely filled.

%C Like in A322469, the columns in table U contain arithmetic progressions.

%C a(n) is a permutation of the positive integers, since A322469 is one, and since there is a one-to-one mapping between any a(n) = k and some A322469(m) = 6*k - 2.

%C There is a hierarchy of such permutations of the positive integers derived by mapping the terms of the form 6*k - 2 to k:

%C Level 1: A322469

%C Level 2: A307048 (this sequence)

%C Level 3: A160016 = 2, 1, 4, 6, 8, 3, ... period of (3 even, 1 odd number)

%C Level 4: A000027 = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... (the positive integers)

%C Level 5: A000027

%e Table U(i, j) begins:

%e i\j 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

%e -------------------------

%e 1:

%e 4: 2

%e 7: 1

%e 10:

%e 13: 6

%e 16: 5

%e 19:

%e 22: 10

%e 25: 4

%e 28:

%e 31: 14

%e -----

%e T(4, 3) = 10 = 6*2 - 2, therefore U(4, 3) = 2.

%e T(7, 6) = 4 = 6*1 - 2, therefore U(7, 6) = 1.
