COMMENTS
The sequence gives the positions, expressed by A001359(m), where the number of twin prime pairs m seen so far first exceeds the number predicted by the first Hardy-Littlewood conjecture after having been less than the predicted number before. A347279 gives the transitions in the opposite direction.
The total number of twin prime pairs up to that with first member x in the intervals a(k) <= x < A347279(k) is above the Hardy-Littlewood prediction. The total number of twin prime pairs up to that with first member x in the intervals A347279(k) <= x < a(k+1) is below the H-L prediction.
