When n =2,+2+2+2+...Prime gaps taken in order of n.

Starting with p=3
p+2 ----3\5
P+4 ---7\11
P+6 ---23\29
p+8 ---89\97
P+10 ---139\149
P+12 --- 99\211
P+14 ---293\307
P+16 ---1831\1847
p+18 ---1913\1931
p+20 ---3089\3109
p+22 ---3229\3251
p+24 ---4177\4201
p+26 ---5531\5557
..
In other words, gaps taken in the order of n
when n =2+2+2...for each iteration.
After p =14, when will p be a multiple of the next p?
p1/p =>2.

You have a typo at p+12. It should read 199\211.

>P+14 ---293\307

I think you have your n's and p's confused. The first occurrence of
p+14 occurs at 113\127, not 293\307. If the title of your post had
read "after the previous p," then that would have been excluded since
113 is not after the previous p of 199 at p+12. But your title read
"after the previous n" and 14 is obviously after the previous n of 12.

What does this mean? p is not 14; n is. Did you mean p+14? Even
with that, p is a prime. No p will ever be a multiple of any other p.

>p1/p =>2.

I don't know what this is supposed to mean either. Is the => symbol
synonymous with the more common >= symbol? What are p1 and p? Does /
represent normal division?

No it is not.
P+14 ---293\307 clearly shows the two primes ((p)=293)\((p1)=307) and 14 is just n=14 gap.
(\) is used as a separator of the 2 primes
The next gap is n=16 ---- 1831\1847

(p1) The next prime >(p) p1/p =>2 where p1 is 2 or more times larger then p.

What is not what? I asked what does "p=14" (that you wrote 4 lines
up) mean since p is supposed to be a prime.

>P+14 ---293\307 clearly shows the two primes ((p)=293)\((p1)=307) and 14 is just n=14 gap.

It is customary to place comments after the material the comment
applies to. I never asked about "\". I asked about the "/" in you
wrote in "p1/p" two lines down.

>(p1) The next prime >(p) p1/p =>2 where p1 is 2 or more times larger then p.

Is this what you are asking?
For n_0=2, we have p_0 is prime and p_0+n_0 is also prime (as you
show).
Let n_1 = n_0+2 and we have a new p_1 and p_1+n_1 that are both
prime with the additional constraint that p_1 > p_0.
Let n_2 = n_1+2 ... (and so on)
We want to find the first p_k after 293 and p_(k+1) that comply
with these conditions plus the condition that p_(k+1) is more than
twice p_k.

For p+36 we get 12853\12889
and for p+38 we 30593\30631

p+44 (36389\36433) and p+46 (81463\81509) is the next occurrence.

There are no others within the first million primes and n <= 800

The next would be p+37? The p+37 where that p is twice or more larger than
the previous p in p+36

> p+44 (36389\36433) and p+46 (81463\81509) is the next occurrence.

The next would be p+45?

If p is a prime greater than 3, p+37 must be even and therefore cannot
be a prime. None of your examples included an odd n. Why did you
decide to add that wrinkle at this late date. If you are going to
allow non-primes, you are going to have to provide a detailed
explanation of how one qualifies (or fails to qualify) to be
considered.

Not under the existing rules. Did you forget to tell us about double
secret probation?
