vp> Consider the halved differences of consecutive primes (Prime[k+1]-Prime[k])/2, k=2,3,4,.,K. Remove the duplicates and sort to obtain an ordered set {1,2,3,.,a(i)}of all natural numbers from 1 to a(i). The allowed numbers a(i) make up the following sequence: a(i) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 17, 18,.

My impression from http://oeis.org/A000230 is that this sequence of halved
prime gaps is dense, and does not miss numbers in the range 8 to 16.
