COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) Any positive rational number r can be written as m/n, where m and n are positive integers such that (prime(prime(prime(m))) + prime(prime(prime(n))))/2 = prime(prime(p)) for some prime p.
(ii) Let p(1,n) = prime(n), and p(m+1,n) = p(m,prime(n)) for m,n = 1,2,3,.... Then, for any integers m > 0 and k > 2, the sequence p(m,n) (n = 1,2,3,...) contains infinitely many nontrivial k-term arithmetic progressions.
(iii) Let m be any positive integer. Then the sequence p(m,n)^(1/n) (n = 1,2,3,...) is strictly decreasing. Also, for any relatively prime integers q > 0 and r, there are infinitely many n > 0 such that p(m,n) == r (mod q).
Note that part (ii) of the conjecture extends the Green-Tao theorem and the third part of the conjecture in A261462. Also, part (iii) in the case m = 1 reduces to the Firoozbakht conjecture on primes and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 755 since prime(prime(prime(755))) + prime(prime(prime(755*2))) = prime(prime(5741)) + prime(prime(12641)) = prime(56611) + prime(135671) = 700897 + 1808581 = 2*1254739 = 2*prime(96797) = 2*prime(prime(9319)) with 9319 prime.
