A249054 Defined by (i) a(1)=1; (ii) if you move a(n) steps to the right you must reach a prime; (iii) a(n) = smallest unused composite number, unless a(n) is required to be prime by (ii), in which case a(n) is the smallest unused prime. 5

%C In contrast to A249053, here all the primes appear and in the correct order, and all the composites appear, also in increasing order. The graph shows two distinct curves. In A249053 many terms are missing, and the points lie on a single curve.

%C A permutation of the positive integers with inverse A249571.

%e a(7) = 5, so a(7+a(7)) = a(7+5) = a(12) = 11 must be prime, which it is.
