%N a(n)-th prime is the fixed point if function A008472[=sum of prime factors with no repetition] is iterated when started at factorial of n-th prime.

%C a(n)<n holds usually, except few large values arising unexpectedly.

%F a(n) = A000720(A082087(A000142(A000040(n)))) = pi(A082087(p(n)!)).

%e n=100,p(100)=541,starts at factorial of 100th prime and ends

%e in 24133, the 2687th prime, so a(100)=2687;

%e n=99, initial value=523!, fixed point is 19, the 8th prime,

%e a(99)=8.
