Hofstadter introduces several sequences in GEB, [0] may be an interesting submission on its own but I was especially captivated by this self-referencing one. Plus a title including both Hofstadter's sequence and a description is too long for HN and I preferred the descriptive one

- Aardwolf 1y agoI meant the title as it appears in OEIS, not as it appears on HN :)
- andersource 1y agoAh :) From my (limited) experience the OEIS titles lean strongly to the descriptive side too. But maybe also to avoid ambiguity regarding to which one is it from his sequences?
