%N Let R_1 = {1, 2, ...}; for any n > 0, let r_n be the colexicographically earliest finite subset of R_n summing to a prime number, say p; a(n) = p and R_{n+1} = R_n \ r_n.
%C In other words, we partition the natural numbers into finite subsets summing to prime numbers.
%C Every prime number appears at least once in the sequence.
%C See A338240 for the corresponding {r_n}.
