Every odd prime p = prime(i), i > 1, occurs in this array, in row (prime(i+1) - prime(i))/2. Polignac's conjecture states that each row contains an infinite number of indices. In case this does not hold, we can use the convention to continue finite rows with 0's, to ensure the sequence is well defined. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 19 2018
