%N Least prime, q, greater than the previous prime, p, which is a primitive root of p; beginning with 2.

%C a(12^k), k-0… = 2, 3, 7, 23, 101, 277, 823, 1871, 4649, 10369, 23087, 51407, 111779, 240059, 515597, 1100831, 2321563, 4916957, 10370993, 21771443, 45592199, 95294021, 198746747, 413993303, 860461453, …; .

%C Conjecture: a(n) < Prime[n*E].

%C The first prime absent from the sequence is 17, but it will join this sequence at 23.

%C The second prime absent from this sequence is 29, but it will join this sequence by going through 41 and then 47.

%C The third prime absent is 31 which joins at 47.

%C Conjecture: All primes will join this sequence eventually.

%e a(7) is not 17 because (13,17) = 1 but is 19 because (13,19) = -1.

%t f[s_] := Block[{p = s[[-1]], q = NextPrime[s[[-1]]]}, While[ MultiplicativeOrder[p, q] + 1 != q, q = NextPrime[q]]; Append[s, q]]; Nest[f, {2}, 60]
