COMMENT

This sequence is interesting because (1) a(n) >= 0, with equality only when n is prime (or 1) and (2) a(n) = 2 if and only if n is the product of two distinct primes. Note for twin primes: let n = m^2 - 1, then m-1 and m+1 are twin primes if and only if a(n) = 2. Note for the Goldbach conjecture: let n = m^ 2 - r^2, then m-r and m+r are primes that add to 2m if and only if a(n) = 2.
