%N Each term is a "Go flat integer" (GFI), but a(n) + a(n+1) is always a "Go up integer" (GUI). More details in the Comments section.

%C The rightmost digit R of a GUI is always larger than the leftmost digit L of the same GUI. The first such integer is 12, as we need at least two digits for a sound GUI. When R = L we have a "Go flat integer", or GFI. We admit that 0 is the first GFI (followed by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, etc.) This sequence is the lexicographically earliest of distinct nonnegative terms with this property, starting with a(1) = 1.

%e a(1) + a(2) = 1 + 11 = 12 and 12 is a GUI;

%e a(2) + a(3) = 11 + 2 = 13 and 13 is a GUI;

%e a(3) + a(4) = 2 + 22 = 24 and 24 is a GUI;

%e a(4) + a(5) = 22 + 3 = 25 and 25 is a GUI;

%e a(5) + a(6) =  3 + 9 = 12 and 12 is a GUI; etc.
