%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct nonnegative integers such that two consecutive terms can be added without carries in balanced ternary.

%C Two integers can be added without carries in balanced ternary if they have no equal nonzero digit at the same position.

%C This sequence is a permutation of the nonnegative integers with inverse A353650.
