Numbers which have a finite predecessor in Wolfram's Rule 30 cellular automaton. The configuration of white and black cells is encoded in the binary representation (A007088) of each number.
The indexing starts from zero, because a(0) = 0 is a special case in this sequence. (Zero is the only number which is its own predecessor).
