%C The Hamming distance between two primes p and q is the Hamming distance between their binary expansions. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 27 2018

%C Conjecture: this sequence is a permutation of the primes.

%C By definition, the absolute difference of a(n) and a(n + 1) is in A048645. - _David A. Corneth_, Jan 12 2018
