%N Lexicographically earliest infinite sequence such that a(i) = a(j) => f(i) = f(j), for all i, j >= 1, where f(p) = p-nextprime(p) for primes p, and f(n) = n for all other numbers.
%C Restricted growth sequence transform of function f defined as: f(n) = -{distance to the next larger prime} when n is a prime, otherwise f(n) = -n.
%C For all i, j:
%C a(i) = a(j) => A305801(i) = A305801(j),
%C a(i) = a(j) => A336852(i) = A336852(j),
%C a(i) = a(j) => A336853(i) = A336853(j).
