COMMENTS
A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. The dual of a set-system has, for each vertex, one edge consisting of the indices (or positions) of the edges containing that vertex. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,3}} is {{1},{1,2},{2}}. The T_1 condition means that the dual is a (strict) antichain, meaning that none of its edges is a subset of any other.
A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.
EXAMPLE
The sequence of all T_1 set-systems together with their BII-numbers begins:
0: {}
1: {{1}}
2: {{2}}
3: {{1},{2}}
7: {{1},{2},{1,2}}
8: {{3}}
9: {{1},{3}}
10: {{2},{3}}
11: {{1},{2},{3}}
15: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3}}
25: {{1},{3},{1,3}}
27: {{1},{2},{3},{1,3}}
30: {{2},{1,2},{3},{1,3}}
31: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3},{1,3}}
42: {{2},{3},{2,3}}
43: {{1},{2},{3},{2,3}}
45: {{1},{1,2},{3},{2,3}}
47: {{1},{2},{1,2},{3},{2,3}}
51: {{1},{2},{1,3},{2,3}}
52: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
