The sequence is well-defined (the terms must alternate in parity, and by Dirichlet's theorem a(n+1) always exists). - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 07 2017
Does every positive integer eventually occur? - Dmitry Kamenetsky, May 27 2009. Reply from Robert G. Wilson v, May 27 2009: The answer is almost certainly yes, on probabilistic grounds.
It appears that this is the limit of the rows of A051237. That those rows do approach a limit seems certain, and given that that limit exists, that this sequence is the limit seems even more likely, but no proof is known for either conjecture. - Robert G. Wilson v, Mar 11 2011, edited by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 17 2011

That is, there are 12 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 21 pairwise sums of any 7 consecutive terms.
This is the theoretical maximum: there can't be more than 12 primes in pairwise sums of 7 distinct numbers > 1. See the wiki page for more details.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers. See A329573 for the "positive" variant: same definition but with offset 1 and positive terms, leading to a quite different sequence.
For a(3) and a(4) resp. a(5) one must forbid the values < 5 resp. < 11 which would be the greedy choices, in order to get a solution for a(7), but from then on, the greedy choice gives the correct solution, at least for several hundred terms.

This is the theoretical maximum: there can't be more than 12 primes in pairwise sums of 7 distinct numbers > 1. See the wiki page for more details.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the positive integers. See A329572 for the nonnegative variant (same definition but with n >= 0 and terms >= 0), leading to a quite different sequence.
For a(5) and a(6) one must forbid values up to 8 in order to be able to find a solution for a(7), but from then on, the greedy choice gives the correct solution, at least for several hundred terms. Small values appearing late are a(30) = 5, a(34) = 6, a(28) = 7, a(62) = 8.

			Up to and including the 6th term, there is no constraint other than not using a term more than once, since it is impossible to have more than 12 primes as pairwise sums of 6 numbers. So one would first try to use the lexicographically smallest possible choice a(1..6) =?= (1, 2, ..., 6). But then one would have only 7 pairs (i,j) such that a(i) + a(j) is prime, 1 <= i < j <= 6. So one would need 12 - 7 = 5 more primes in {1, 2, ..., 6} + a(7), which is impossible. One can check that even a(1..5) =?= (1,...,5) does not allow one to find a(6) and a(7) in order to have 12 prime sums a(i) + a(j), 1 <= i < j <= 7. Nor is it possible to find a solution with a(5) equal to 6 or 7 or 8. One finds that a(5) = 9, and a(6) = 10, are the smallest possible choices for which a(7) can be found as to satisfy the requirement. In that case, a(7) = 27 is the smallest possible solution, which yields the 12 prime sums 1+2, 2+3, 1+4, 3+4, 2+9, 4+9, 1+10, 3+10, 9+10, 2+27, 4+27, 10+27.
Now, to satisfy the definition of the sequence for n = 2, we drop the initial 1 from the set of consecutive terms, and search for a(8) producing the same number of additional primes together with {2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 27} as did a(1) = 1, namely 3. We see that a(8) = 14 is the smallest possibility. And so on.
It seems that once a(5) and a(6) are chosen, one may always take the smallest possible choice for the next term without ever again running into difficulty. This is in strong contrast to the (exceptional) case of the variant where we require 10 prime sums among 7 consecutive terms, cf. sequence A329574.

That is, there are 5 primes, counted with multiplicity, among the 10 pairwise sums of any 5 consecutive terms.
Conjectured to be a permutation of the nonnegative integers.
If so, then the restriction to [1..oo) is a permutation of the positive integers, but not the smallest such, which is given in A329563. It seems that the two sequences have no common terms beyond a(6) = 8, except for the accidental a(22) = 15 and maybe some later coincidences of this type. There also appears to be no other simple relation between the terms of these sequences, in contrast to, e.g., A055265 vs. A128280. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 12 2020

			For n = 0, we consider pairwise sums among the first 5 terms a(0..4), among which we must have 5 primes. To get a(4), consider first a(0..3) = (0, 1, 2, 3) and the pairwise sums (a(i) + a(j), 0 <= i < j <= 3) = (1; 2, 3; 3, 4, 5) among which there are 4 primes, counted with multiplicity (i.e., the prime 3 is there two times). So the additional term a(4) must give exactly one more prime sum with all of a(0..3). We find that 4 or 5 would give two more primes, but a(4) = 6 gives exactly one more, 1 + 6 = 7.
Now, for n = 1 we forget the initial 0 and consider the pairwise sums of the remaining terms {1, 2, 3, 6}. There are 3 prime sums, so the next term must give two more. The term 4 would give two more (1+4 and 3+4) primes, but thereafter we would have {2, 3, 6, 4} with only 2 prime sums and impossibility to add one term to get three more prime sums: 2+x, 6+x and 4+x can't be all prime for x > 1.
Therefore 4 isn't the next term, and we try a(5) = 5 which indeed gives the required number of primes, and also allows us to continue.
