%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct terms such that, when i<j, at least one of a(i) U a(j) or a(j) U a(i) is prime (where U denotes concatenation).

%C Two distinct terms can always be concatenated in some way to form a prime number.

%C Is this sequence infinite?

%e The following concatenations are prime:
