COMMENTS
This sequence is a permutation of the nonnegative integers iff Catalan's aliquot sequence conjecture (also called Catalan-Dickson conjecture) is true.
a(563) = 276 is the smallest number whose aliquot sequence has not yet been fully determined.
As long as the aliquot sequence of 276 is not known to be finite or eventually periodic, a(563+k) = A008892(k).

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1;
since A001065(a(1)) = 0 has already appeared in this sequence, a(2) = 2;
since A001065(a(2)) = 1 has already appeared in this sequence, a(3) = 3;
...
a(11) = 11;
since A001065(a(11)) = 1 has already appeared in this sequence, a(12) = 12;
since A001065(a(12)) = 16 has not yet appeared in this sequence, a(13) = A001065(a(12)) = 16;
since A001065(a(13)) = 15 has not yet appeared in this sequence, a(14) = A001065(a(13)) = 15;
since A001065(a(14)) = 9 has already appeared in this sequence, a(15) = 13;
