COMMENTS
Rearrangement of the positive integers.
Any sequence defined in this manner (that is, a(1) is any positive integer and a(n+1) is the smallest integer not occurring earlier and coprime to Sum_{j=1..n} a(j)) is a rearrangement of all positive integers. This property is used by problem 4 of Chinese High School Mathematical Olympiad in 2018. - Shu Shang, Sep 29 2021

FORMULA
For n > 6: a(n) = n-2 for n mod 4 = 0, a(n) = n-1 for n mod 4 = 1, a(n) = n+1 for n mod 4 = 2, a(n) = n+2 for n mod 4 = 3. - Klaus Brockhaus, Nov 30 2003
EXAMPLE
1+2+4 = 7, 3 is the smallest number not occurring earlier and coprime to 7, hence a(4) = 3.
PROG
(PARI) used(k, v)=b=0; j=1; while(b<1&&j<=length(v), if(v[j]==k, b=1, j++)); b
{print1(s=1, ", "); v=[s]; for(n=1, 72, j=1; k=2; while(used(k, v)||gcd(k, s)>1, k++); v=concat(v, k); s=s+k; print1(k, ", "))}
(PARI) {print1(1, ", ", 2, ", ", 4, ", ", 3, ", ", 7, ", ", 5, ", "); for(n=7, 73, m=n%4; d=(if(m==0, -2, if(m==1, -1, if(m==2, 1, 2)))); print1(n+d, ", "))}
