A182164 Start with a(1)=1, if a(n) is prime, jump over a(n) neighbors to the left, else to the right. Fill in the largest possible unused prime, or the least unused composite, such that the next destination is not yet filled. 2

COMMENTS
"Largest possible" means that the prime has to be less than n-1 (to be able to jump over a(n) neighbors to the left) and the place at index n-a(n)-1 has to be vacant. If (and only if) no such prime exists, the "or" clause (filling with composite) applies.
