COMMENTS
This sequence is a binary variant of A053582.
Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions guaranties that this sequence is infinite.
We can build a similar sequence for any base b > 1 and any starting value coprime to b.
EXAMPLE
The first terms, alongside their binary representations, are:
n a(n) bin(a(n))
