A329572 For all n >= 0, exactly 12 sums are prime among a(n+i) + a(n+j), 0 <= i < j < 7; lexicographically earliest such sequence of distinct nonnegative numbers. 3

COMMENTS
That is, there are 12 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 21 pairwise sums of any 7 consecutive terms.
This is the theoretical maximum: there can't be more than 12 primes in pairwise sums of 7 distinct numbers > 1. See the wiki page for more details.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers. See A329573 for the "positive" variant: same definition but with offset 1 and positive terms, leading to a quite different sequence.
For a(3) and a(4) resp. a(5) one must forbid the values < 5 resp. < 11 which would be the greedy choices, in order to get a solution for a(7), but from then on, the greedy choice gives the correct solution, at least for several hundred terms.
