COMMENTS
Equivalently, k and k+2 have the same absolute value of abundance (or deficiency) with opposite signs.
Equivalently, s(k) + s(k+2) = k + (k+2), where s(k) is the sum of proper divisors of k (A001065).

EXAMPLE
12 is a term since A033880(12) = sigma(12) - 2*12 = 28 - 24 = 4, and A033879(14) = 2*14 - sigma(14) = 28 - 24 = 4.
