%N a(n) is the smallest composite number not already in the sequence such that the absolute values of the successive differences are distinct primes.

%C The absolute values of the successive difference are 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 11, 19, 43, 23, 29, 37, 31, ...

%C Does every composite number occur in the sequence? Does every prime occur as a difference?

%t a[0]=4; a[n_] := a[n]=Module[{x, d}, For[x=6, True, x++, If[ !PrimeQ[x]&&PrimeQ[d=Abs[x-a[n-1]]]&&!MemberQ[a/@Range[n-1], x]&&!MemberQ[Table[Abs[a[i+1]-a[i]], {i, 0, n-2}], d], Return[x]]]]
