COMMENTS

As prime(1)=2, this sequence can always be extended with an even number.

This sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, with inverse A285041 (say prime(k) divides n: the sequence contains all the multiples of 2*k, hence n will eventually be chosen).

This sequence has a fractal structure that is highlighted in the illustrations of some derived sequences in the Links section.
