nps(n,0) -> list nonprime(n) or the sequence of nonprime numbers. nps(n,1) -> list nonprime(nonprime(n)) or nps of order 1 nps(n,2) -> list nonprime(nonprime(nonprime(n))) or nps of order 2 ..... The order is the number of nestings - 1. We avoid the nestings in the script with a loop.

Nonprimes (A018252) with nonprime (A018252) subscripts. a(n) U A078782(n) = A018252(n), a(n+1) U A175250(n) = A018252(n) for n >= 1. a(n) = nonprime(nonprime(n)) = A018252(A018252(n)). a(4) = 14 because a(4) = b(b(4)) = b(8) = 14, b = nonprime. a(1) = 1, a(n) = nonprimes (A018252) with composite (A002808) subscripts for n >=2.
