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”).

%N BII-numbers of blobs.
%C A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18.
%C Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges. In an antichain, no edge is a subset or superset of any other edge. In a 2-vertex-connected set-system, at least two vertices must be removed to make the set-system disconnected. A blob is a connected, 2-vertex-connected antichain of finite, nonempty sets, or, equivalently, a 2-vertex-connected clutter.
