Table of n, a(n) for n=1..65.

Example

a(1) = semiprime(3almostprime(1)) - 3almostprime(semiprime(1)) = 22 - 20 = 2.
a(2) = semiprime(3almostprime(2)) - 3almostprime(semiprime(2)) = 34 - 28 = 6.
a(3) = semiprime(3almostprime(3)) - 3almostprime(semiprime(3)) = 51 - 44 = 7.
a(4) = semiprime(3almostprime(4)) - 3almostprime(semiprime(4)) = 57 - 45 = 12.
a(7) = semiprime(3almostprime(7)) - 3almostprime(semiprime(7)) = 87 - 98 = -11, which is the first negative value in the commutators we have seen in these related set of sequences, exposing an incorrect assumption.

Mathematica
