%N a(n) = the smallest composite positive integer that is not yet in the sequence and that is coprime to n.

%C This sequence is a permutation of the composite positive integers.

%C Indices of composites: {1, 4, 3, 8, 2, 15, 5, 12, 7, 17, 6, 23, 9, 21, 13, 26, 10, 33, 11, 35, 16, 30, 14, 38, 18, 40, 20, 46, ...}. - _Michael De Vlieger_, Jul 23 2017

%C Each composite k occurs in the sequence no later than a(k-1). Proof by induction. - _Peter Munn_, Sep 01 2017
