COMMENTS
The author's conjecture in A303389 has the following equivalent version: Each integer n > 1 can be expressed as the sum of two terms of the current sequence.
This has been verified for all n = 2..2*10^8.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 with 1 = 0*(0+1)/2 + 5^0.
a(2) = 2 with 2 = 1*(1+1)/2 + 5^0.
a(3) = 4 with 4 = 2*(2+1)/2 + 5^0.
