COMMENTS
Start examining the natural numbers from 2 on and call an "atom" the first integer which cannot be divided by another "atom"; this sieve produces the prime numbers. Here we call "atom" the second integer which cannot be divided by another "atom" - thus the sequence starts with 3 (not 2) and continues with 5 (not 4), then 8 (not 6 or 7), then 13, etc.
