COMMENTS
Theorem: even terms cannot be adjacent. Proof: If prime p | j, then p cannot divide k as well, because then (j, k) >= p and by definition of "prime", p > 1, which contradicts the axiom (j, k) = 1. Since 2 is prime, consecutive even terms are prohibited.
A restriction on the Yellowstone sequence A098550 analogous to A353916 regarding its relationship to A064413.
