COMMENTS
In other words a(n) is least k such that (j,k) = 1 and rad(i*j*k) is a primorial number (alternatively i*j*k is a term in A055932).
Conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers with primes in order.

EXAMPLE
Sequence starts with a(1,2,3) = {1,2,3} because this is the smallest consecutive triple of terms satisfying the definition ((2,3) = 1 and rad(1*2*3) = 6 = A002110(2)).
a(4) = 4 because (3,4) = 1, rad(2*3*4) = 6 = A002110(2), and 4 is the smallest unused number with this property.
