No I haven't heard of something exactly like this
but this is typically the kind of generalization
that might interest number theorists, people
working on additive number theory and
master conjecturers such as Zhi Wei Sun
for instance.

You and Peter Moses could probably ask about this on mathoverflow and on
the NumberTheory list  (
https://listserv.nodak.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A0=NMBRTHRY)
if you want but do not do that until your sequences have been approved in a
first public version: draft edits are not available or searchable for the
general public.
