We explore A000004—the unassuming all-zero sequence that sits at the origin of the OEIS. Learn how a string of zeros can encode zero, act as a building block for linear recurrences, and connect to constant sequences like A000012 (all ones). We also peek at the formulas and programs listed in the OEIS entry—Maple, Mathematica, Python—showing how this simple sequence ties together number theory, combinatorics, and computer science.
