%N a(1)=1. a(n) = a(n-1) + (sum of terms, from among terms a(1) through a(n-1), which are prime or 1).

%C By Dirichlet's Theorem there are an infinite number of primes in this sequence.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) if a(n-1) is prime, else a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>3. - _John Tyler Rascoe_, Jul 20 2022

%e The noncomposites among the first 8 terms of the sequence are 1, 2, 5, 13 and 97. The sum of these is 1+2+5+13+97 = 118. So a(9) = a(8) + 118 = 215.
