COMMENTS

Numbers n such that n + (0, 3) is a prime power pair.

n + (0, 2m), m >= 1, being an admissible pattern for prime pairs, since (0, 2m) = (0, 0) (mod 2), has high density.

n + (0, 2m-1), m >= 1, being a non-admissible pattern for prime pairs, since (0, 2m-1) = (0, 1) (mod 2), has low density [the only possible pairs are (2^a - 2m-1, 2^a) or (2^a, 2^a + 2m-1), a >= 0.]

n + (0, 3) being a non-admissible pattern for prime pairs, has only prime power pairs (2^a - 3, 2^a) or (2^a, 2^a + 3), a >= 0.

Numbers n such that n and n+3 are primes would give only 2, for the prime pair (2, 5).
