COMMENTS
Construction: we start with a(0)=1 for A278243(0)=1, and then after, for n > 0, we use the least unused natural number k for a(n) if A278243(n) has not been encountered before, otherwise [whenever A278243(n) = A278243(m), for some m < n], we set a(n) = a(m).
When filtering sequences (by equivalence class partitioning), this sequence (with its modestly sized terms) can be used instead of A278243, because for all i, j it holds that: a(i) = a(j) <=> A278243(i) = A278243(j).
For example, for all i, j: a(i) = a(j) => A002487(i) = A002487(j).
For pairs of distinct primes p, q for which a(p) = a(q) see comments in A317945. - Antti Karttunen, Aug 12 2018

EXAMPLE
For n=1, A278243(1) = 2, which has not been encountered before, thus we allot for a(1) the least so far unused number, which is 2, thus a(1) = 2.
For n=2, A278243(2) = 2, which was already encountered as A278243(1), thus we set a(2) = a(1) = 2.
For n=3, A278243(3) = 6, which has not been encountered before, thus we allot for a(3) the least so far unused number, which is 3, thus a(3) = 3.
For n=23, A278243(23) = 2520, which has not been encountered before, thus we allot for a(23) the least so far unused number, which is 13, thus a(23) = 3.
For n=25, A278243(25) = 2520, which was already encountered at n=23, thus we set a(25) = a(23) = 13.
