It is not an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence but a sequence is any list that follows a particular pattern. Since what you presented is a list that does follow a specific pattern, it is a sequence. I have no idea what you mean by "valid" in this context.

What pattern? When paired in one-to-one correspondence with any arithmetic sequence with equal cardinality, any finite list of numbers creates a set of ordered pairs that can be uniquely defined by a polynomial of degree one less than the cardinality of the original list. Your sequence, which contains 14 elements, could be uniquely defined by a 13th-degree polynomial.
