%N BII-numbers of set-systems with empty intersection.

%C A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. 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. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.

%e The sequence of all set-systems with empty intersection together with their BII-numbers begins:

%e 0: {}

%e 3: {{1},{2}}

%e 7: {{1},{2},{1,2}}

%e 9: {{1},{3}}

%e 10: {{2},{3}}

%e 11: {{1},{2},{3}}

%e 12: {{1,2},{3}}

%e 13: {{1},{1,2},{3}}

%e 14: {{2},{1,2},{3}}

%e 15: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3}}

%e 18: {{2},{1,3}}

%e 19: {{1},{2},{1,3}}
