Conjecture: (i) Any positive rational number r can be written as m/n with m and n in the set S = {k>0: prime(k) = prime(p)+2 for some prime p} = {p+1: p and prime(p)+2 are both prime}.
(ii) Any positive rational number r can be written as m/n with m and n in the set T = {k>0: prime(k) = prime(p)-2 for some prime p} = {p-1: p and prime(p)-2 are both prime}.
(iii) Any positive rational number r not equal to 1 can be written as m/n with m in S and n in T, where the sets S and T are given in parts (i) and (ii).
For example, 4/5 = 15648/19560 with 15647, prime(15647)+2 = 171763, 19559 and prime(19559)+2 = 219409 all prime; and 4/5 = 67536/84420 with 67537, prime(67537)-2 = 848849, 84421 and prime(84421)-2 = 1081937 all prime. Also, 4/5 = 8/10 with 7, prime(7)+2 = 19, 11 and prime(11)-2 = 29 all prime; and 5/4 = 8220/6576 with 8221, prime(8221)+2 = 84349, 6577 and prime(6577)-2 = 65837 all prime.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 6 since prime(6) = 13 = prime(5)+2 with 5 prime, and prime(6*3) = 61 = prime(17)+2 with 17 prime.
a(4) = 578 since prime(578) = 4219 = prime(577)+2 with 577 prime, and prime(578*4) = 20479 = prime(2311)+2 with 2311 prime.
