Examples
For n = 0, we consider pairwise sums of the first 6 terms a(0..5) = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 24): We have (a(i) + a(j), 0 <= i < j < 6) = (1; 2, 3; 3, 4, 5; 4, 5, 6, 7; 24, 25, 26, 27, 28) among which there are 6 primes, counted with repetition. This justifies taking a(0..4) = (0, ..., 4), the smallest possible choices for these first 5 terms. Since no smaller a(5) between 5 and 23 has this property, this is the start of the lexicographically earliest nonnegative sequence with this property and no duplicate terms. Then we find that a(6) = 5 is possible, also giving 6 prime sums for n = 1, so this is the correct continuation (modulo later confirmation that the sequence can be continued without contradiction given this choice). Next we find that a(7) = 6 is not possible, it would give only 5 prime sums using the 6 consecutive terms (2, 3, 4, 24, 5, 6). However, a(7) = 7 is a valid continuation, and so on.
