%N Number of (2+2)-free naturally labeled posets on [n].

%C A partial order R is naturally labeled if xRy => x<y.

%C A partial order is (2+2)-free if it does not contain an induced subposet that is isomorphic to the union of two disjoint 2-element chains.

%e a(4) = A006455(4) - 3 = 37: {1R2, 3R4}, {1R3, 2R4} and {1R4, 2R3} (trivially) contain a 2+2 subposet.
