Talking to myself...

	Yes, you did ask about using map()... But I started from your initial
statement: PRINT the first 100 elements in the sequence... Nothing in
"print..." requires building a list of values first, and the definition for
adjacent value pairs is easily generated given merely a stream of integer
values with no fancy/complex set operations.

	Now -- if you wanted the first 99 values -- then some complexity creeps
in as you'd have to skip the final -(x+1) term.
