%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms such that for any n > 0 and any k > 0, floor((2^k) / a(n)) AND floor((2^k) / a(n+1)) = 0 (where AND denotes the bitwise AND operator).
%C In other words, for any n > 0, the binary expansions of 1/a(n) and of 1/a(n+1) have no common one bit; in this sense, this sequence is similar to A109812.
%C This sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, with inverse A306233 (we can first prove that all the powers of 2 appear in the sequence and then that every natural number appear in the sequence).

%F For any n > 0, if A000120(a(n)) <> 1 and A000120(a(n+1)) <> 1, then gcd(A007733(a(n)), A007733(a(n+1))) > 1.
%e The first terms, alongside A007733(a(n)) and the binary representation of 1/a(n) with periodic part in parentheses, are:
