%N a(1)=2, a(n) is the smallest prime > a(n-1) such that a(n) is a primitive root mod a(n-1) and vice versa.

%C if a(n) is 3 mod 4, then by quadratic reciprocity, if q is 3 mod 4, then either q is a square mod a(n) or vice versa, so a(n+1) must be 1 mod 4.

%e a(5)=17 because 7 is a primitive root mod 17 and 17 (=3 mod 7) is a primitive root mod 7. Also a(5) is not 11 since 11 has order 3 mod 7, a(5) is not 13 since 13 has order 2 mod 7.
