Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

The successive digits of the sequence are the same digits that have a nonprime rank in the sequence.

COMMENTS
The sequence is started with a(1) = 0 and always extended with the smallest integer not yet present and not leading to a contradiction.
EXAMPLE
The first 12 terms are:
0,1,2,10,20,102,30,3,1020,300,31,40
Their successive digits are:
0,1,2,1,0,2,0,1,0,2,3,0,3,1,0,2,0,3,0,0,3,1,4,0
The nonprime rank digits are here (between parentheses):
(0),1,2,(1),0,(2),0,(1),(0),(2),3,(0),3,(1),(0),(2),0,(3),0,(0),(3),(1),4,(0),
Erasing the digits not in the parentheses:
(0),.,.,(1),.,(2),.,(1),(0),(2),.,(0),.,(1),(0),(2),.,(3),.,(0),(3),(1),.,(0),
The surviving digits are:
0,1,2,1,0,2,0,1,0,2,3,0,3,1,0,...
Those are indeed the digits of the starting sequence.
