COMMENTS
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 set-system (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.
A set-system is uniform if all edges have the same size.
EXAMPLE
The sequence of all maximal uniform set-systems together with their BII-numbers begins:
0: {}
1: {{1}}
2: {{2}}
3: {{1},{2}}
4: {{1,2}}
8: {{3}}
9: {{1},{3}}
10: {{2},{3}}
11: {{1},{2},{3}}
16: {{1,3}}
32: {{2,3}}
52: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
64: {{1,2,3}}
128: {{4}}
129: {{1},{4}}
130: {{2},{4}}
131: {{1},{2},{4}}
136: {{3},{4}}
137: {{1},{3},{4}}
138: {{2},{3},{4}}
