A349493 a(1)=1, a(2)=2; for n > 2, a(n) is the smallest unused positive number such that gcd(a(n-2)+a(n-1), a(n)) > 1 while gcd(a(n-2), a(n)) = 1 and gcd(a(n-1), a(n)) = 1. 7

COMMENTS
In the first 100000 terms the smallest unseen number is 14657, although it is likely all numbers eventually appear. In the same range the fixed points are 3, 8, 11, 69, 207, 543, 555, 663, 687, 981. The majority of terms more than n = 100000 appear to move away from the line y = n, see the linked image, so it is unclear if more exist. The largest value in the first 100000 terms is a(87952) = 4758245.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 3 as a(1)+a(2) = 3, gcd(1,3) = 1, gcd(2,3) = 1, gcd(3,3) > 1 and 3 is unused.
a(4) = 5 as a(2)+a(3) = 5, gcd(2,5) = 1, gcd(3,5) = 1, gcd(5,5) > 1 and 5 is unused.
a(8) = 8 as a(6)+a(7) = 22, gcd(9,8) = 1, gcd(13,8) = 1, gcd(22,8) > 1 and 8 is unused.
