Comments

A variant of the sequence A267758 where the relation has to hold for prime numbers rather than for squarefree numbers. In contrast to that sequence we have many "lines" here (when the property occurs for consecutive terms), roughly proportional to n, 2n, 3n, ... Here we also have duplicate terms (which we could exclude explicitly), for n <= 1000 this happens 19 times.
