Comments

a(n+1) is taken to be the smallest number, greater than a(n-2), of opposite parity to a(n) that satisfies the condition.

A000034: Period 2: repeat [1, 2] is another sequence satisfying the definition without the increasing constraint. - Michel Marcus, Dec 22 2014

Example

1060 + 267 = 1327 is prime;
1060 + 27 = 1087 is prime;
1060 + 9 = 1069 is prime;
1060 + 3 = 1063 is prime;
1060 + 1 = 1061 is prime.
