%N If p, q are successive primes, and there is a number k with p < k <= q such that r = p+k is a prime, then r is in the sequence.

%C The old definition was: Primes p>=5 with the property: if Prime(k)<p/2<Prime(k+1), then p<=Prime(k)+ Prime(k+1)

%C If A(x) is the counting function of a(n) not exceeding x, then, in view of the symmetry, it is natural to conjecture that A(x)~pi(x)/2.

%e Taking p=2, q=3, k=3 we get r=2+3=5, the first term.

%e Taking p=3, q=5, k=4 we get r=3+4=7, the second term.

%e From p=89, q=97 we can take both k=90 and k=92, getting the terms 89+90=179 and 89+92=181. - _Art Baker_, Mar 16 2019
