EXAMPLE
If n=1, then
r(r(r(1)+1)+1)+1=r(r(0+1)+1)+1=r(r(1)+1)+1=r(0+1)+1=r(1)+1=0+1=1=a(1).
If n=2, then
r(r(r(2)+1)+1)+1=r(r(1+1)+1)+1=r(r(2)+1)+1=r(1+1)+1=r(2)+1=1+1=2
(prime).
If n=3, then
r(r(r(3)+1)+1)+1=r(r(4+1)+1)+1=r(r(5)+1)+1=r(8+1)+1=r(9)+1=14+1=15=a(2).
If n=4, then
r(r(r(4)+1)+1)+1=r(r(6+1)+1)+1=r(r(7)+1)+1=r(10+1)+1=r(11)+1=16+1=17
(prime).
If n=5, then
r(r(r(5)+1)+1)+1=r(r(8+1)+1)+1=r(r(9)+1)+1=r(14+1)+1=r(15)+1=22+1=23
(prime).
If n=6, then
r(r(r(6)+1)+1)+1=r(r(9+1)+1)+1=r(r(10)+1)+1=r(15+1)+1=r(16)+1=24+1=25=a(3).
If n=7, then
r(r(r(7)+1)+1)+1=r(r(10+1)+1)+1=r(r(11)+1)+1=r(16+1)+1=r(17)+1=25+1=26=a(4).
If n=8, then
r(r(r(8)+1)+1)+1=r(r(12+1)+1)+1=r(r(13)+1)+1=r(20+1)+1=r(21)+1=30+1=31
(prime).
If n=9, then
r(r(r(9)+1)+1)+1=r(r(14+1)+1)+1=r(r(15)+1)+1=r(22+1)+1=r(23)+1=33+1=34=a(5).
If n=10, then
r(r(r(10)+1)+1)+1=r(r(15+1)+1)+1=r(r(16)+1)+1=r(24+1)+1=r(25)+1=35+1=36=a(6),
etc.
