%N Highly insulated primes (see Comments for definition).

%C Let degree of insulation D(p) for a prime p be defined as the largest m such that the prime between p-m and p+m is p only. Then the n-th insulated prime is said to be highly insulated if and only if D(A339148(n)) > D(A339148(n+1)) and D(A339148(n)) > D(A339148(n-1)).

%e For the triplet (13,23,37) of insulated primes, the values of degree of insulation are D(13)=2, D(23)=4, and D(37)=3. Hence, 23 is the highly insulated prime.
