%C It doesn't matter if terms or the neighboring primes are included in the sums or excluded as long as the symmetry is taken into account.

%C If A133760(n) = A133760(n-1), then A000040(n) is a term.

%e a(2) = 2141 (a prime); previous prime is 2137; next prime is 2143.

%e The numbers of divisors between are:

%e + d(2138) = 4 + d(2142) = 24

%e + d(2139) = 8

%e + d(2140) = 12

%e ------------------------------------------

%e sum = 24 sum = 24 Sums are equal. Thus 2141 is a term.

%Y Cf. A000005, A000040, A133760.

%Y Cf. A353553 (sum of three sets are equal), A353554 (sum of four sets are equal).
