This year my wife and I are celebrating our 40th anniversary. This year Stephen Wolfram also celebrates the 40th anniversary of his favorite scientific discovery as he wrote in My All-Time Favorite Science Discovery

Also, see a prior post -https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8711601538345502519/636715033944644578.

This discovery led to Wolfram's publication of A New Kind of Science (now available online).

A375508 Contribution to the OEIS

 

A375508Begin A160649 with n instead of 2; a(n) is the position in the new sequence at which it generates the same numbers as A160649 or a(n)=0 if it doesn't.0

COMMENTS
The indices of the matching entries of A160649 and this sequence do not necessarily have to be the same (see Examples).

EXAMPLE
Using () to indicate the point at which the new sequence generates the same numbers as A160649:
A160649: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12... a(1)=1
Start=3: (3), 4, 6, 8, 11, 12... a(2)=1
Start=4: (4), 6, 8, 11, 12, 15... a(3)=1
Start=5: 5, (6), 8, 11, 12, 15... a(4)=2
