%N Decimal representation of the x-axis, from the left edge to the origin, of the n-th stage of growth of the two-dimensional cellular automaton defined by "Rule 1", based on the 5-celled von Neumann neighborhood.

%C Initialized with a single black (ON) cell at stage zero.

%C Rule numbers 1, 9, 17, 25, 257, 265, 273 and 281 all generate this sequence.
