Comments

It appears that a positive number n appears in A093714 at about the n-th term; if in fact A093714(k) = n, then a(n) = n - k.

An equivalent definition uses the inverse to A093714: a(n) = n - A093715(n).

Example

A093714(8) = 11, so 11 has appeared 3 steps early, therefore a(11) = 11 - 8 = 3.
