A338938 a(1)=0. For n >= 2, let S be the sum of all nonprime digits in a(1), a(2), ... a(n-1) and let P be the next prime not already in the sequence. If S is a nonprime number less than P and not already in the sequence, a(n) = S. Otherwise, a(n) = P. 1

COMMENTS
Similar to A338925, however this sequence does not include the nonprime digits of a(n) itself.
Each nonprime term is the sum of all nonprime digits of each previous term.

EXAMPLE
a(9) = 4 since the sum of the nonprime digits of the previous terms is 1+1+1+1 = 4 and 4 is less than the next prime, 19.
a(10) = 8 since the sum of nonprime digits of the previous terms is 1+1+1+1+4 = 8 and 8 is less than the next prime, 19.
a(11) = 16 since the sum of the nonprime digits of the previous terms is 1+1+1+1+4+8 = 16 and 16 is less than the next prime, 19.
Now, the sum of the nonprime digits of the previous terms is 1+1+1+1+4+8+1+6 = 23 (a prime number). So a(12) is the next prime number in that hasn't appeared, meaning a(12) = 19.
