I think it makes it interesting if the ending point is derived  from a
transformation on the previous integer. More math like. So, I would suggest
we either have:

  double
  halve (evens only)
  add_two
  times_one

so we can get (1,1) #=3D> [1,1]

or, we use the original tranformations to get:

  (1,1) #=3D> [1,2,1]

Seems less hand wavy than having the final value magically appear without
being tranformed from a previous step.

$0.02
