As a(2) is even, which forces a(3) and a(4) to be odd, all following terms will be odd as the sum of two odd terms is even. Beyond a(5) = 7 all subsequent primes appear in their natural order.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 5 as a(1) + a(2) = 3, a(1)*a(2) = 2, and 5 is the smallest unused number that does not share a factor with 3 or 2.
