%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct prime numbers such that for any n > 1, a(n) is at Hamming distance one from some previous term.

%C For any n > 1, a(n) = a(m) XOR 2^k for some m < n and k >= 0 (where XOR denotes the bitwise XOR operator).

%C This sequence was inspired by A294994.

%C Let define the binary relation R over prime numbers as follows:

%C - for any prime numbers p and q, p is R-related to q iff there exists a finite list of prime numbers, say (c(1), ..., c(k)), such that c(1) = p and c(k) = q and A000120(c(i) XOR c(i+1)) = 1 for i = 1..k-1,

%C - R is a equivalence relation,

%C - this sequence corresponds to the R-equivalence class of the prime number 2.

%C Is this sequence infinite?

%C Will every prime number appear?
