A subsequence of A031926. [Corrected by Sean A. Irvine, Nov 07 2021]
a(n)=p, the initial prime of two consecutive 8-twins of primes as follows: [p,p+8] and [p+12,p+12+8], d=8, while the distance of the two 8-twins is 12 (minimal; see A052380(4/2)=12).
Analogous sequences are A047948 for d=2, A052378 for d=4, A052376 for d=10 and A052188-A052199 for d=6k, so that in the [d,D-d,d] difference patterns which follows a(n) the D-d is minimal(=0,2,4; here it is 4).
FORMULA
a(n) is the initial term of a [p, p+8, p+12, p+12+8] quadruple of consecutive primes.
EXAMPLE
p=1559 begins the [1559,1567,1571,1579] prime quadruple consisting of two 8-twins [1559,1567] and[1571,1579] which are in minimal distance, min{D}=1571-1559=12=A052380(8/2).
