Posted May 21, 20204 yr here is a sketch for an alternative "binary-(or element-)layer-FUNCTION (defun element-layer (lists &key (rnd nil)) (let ((lists (if (null rnd) lists (rnd-order lists :list t)))) (car (last (loop for x in (rest lists) with list = (car lists) collect (setf list (loop for i in list with cnt = 0 when (equal i 0) collect (nth cnt x) and do (incf cnt) else collect i))))))) (element-layer (list '(1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0) '(0 2 3 0 4 5 0 6 0 7 8 0) '(11 12 13 14 15 16 17)) :rnd nil) => (1 11 2 1 1 3 12 1 4 5 13 6) ;;; hierarchic: every 0's will be replaced by the values from the next/sub-list...
