%N Missing even distances in full prime rulers, i.e., even numbers k, 0 < k < p-3 for some prime p, such that k is not the difference of two primes less than or equal to p.

%C Inspired by the notion of 'distset' as in A349976, and the general idea of sets of natural numbers as marks of a 'ruler'.

%e a(1) = 88 < p - 3 for prime number p = 97, and there are no primes p1, p2 <= p with 88 = p1 - p2.

%p primedist := n -> {seq(2*j, j = 0..(ithprime(n) - 3)/2)} minus `union`(seq({seq(abs(ithprime(j) - ithprime(k)), k = 1..j)}, j = 1..n)):

%p `union`(seq(primedist(j), j = 1..200)); # _Peter Luschny_, Dec 24 2021
