%N Minimal numbers whose binary indices of binary indices contradict a strict version of the axiom of choice.

%C Minimality is relative to the ordering where x < y means the binary indices of x are a subset of those of y (a Boolean algebra).

%C A binary index of n (row n of A048793) is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion.

%C The axiom of choice says that, given any set of nonempty sets Y, it is possible to choose a set containing an element from each. The strict version requires this set to have the same cardinality as Y, meaning no element is chosen more than once.

%e The terms the corresponding set-systems begin:

%e 25: {{1},{3},{1,3}}
