COMMENTS
The sequence starts with a(1) = 1 and is always extended with the smallest integer not yet present that does not lead to a contradiction. This sequence is conjectured to be a permutation of the odd integers not ending with the digit “5”.

|1-3| = 2 and 23 is prime; |3-7| = 4 and 47 is prime; |7-9| = 2 and 29 is prime; |9-11| = 2 and 211 is prime; |11-17| = 6 and 617 is prime; etc.
