COMMENTS
When represented in binary, this sequence represents the uncommon bits in two consecutive prime numbers.
a(n) = 2 for indices of the lesser twin primes of the form 4k + 1, A071695. - Michel Marcus, Apr 17 2020

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 6 ; since prime(2) = 3, which is 11 in binary, prime(3) = 5, which is 101 in binary; and 011 XOR 101 = 110, which is 6 in decimal.
