Pulling Hair Off Goldbach

From the previous post "More Prime Spiral Goldbach" dated 24 Dec 2022,

 \(n_{gi+1}+n_{oi+1}=n_{g}+n_{o}+i+1\)            \(i\) is odd, 1, 3, 5...

predicts the next pair \(n_{gi+1}\) and \(n_{oi+1}\) from an odd position \(i\) odd.

\(n_{gi+1}+n_{oi+1}=(2n+(i+1)-2)-n_{g}-n_{o}\)  \(i\) is even, 2, 4, 6

predicts the next pair \(n_{gi+1}\) and \(n_{oi+1}\) from a even position \(i\) even.

Since \(n_{gi+1}\) and \(n_{oi+1}\) is not guaranteed to ensure,

\(2(n+i+1)-2n_{oi+1}+1=p_{i+1}\) and \(2(n+i+1)-2n_{gi+1}+1=q_{i+1}\)

where both \(p_{i+1}\) and \(q_{i+1}\) are prime and,

\(p_{i+1} +q_{i+1}=2(n+i+1)\)

Goldbach's Conjecture not proven here.

But take any pair of primes, \(p\) and \(q\) and calculate,

\(n=\cfrac{p+q}{2}\)

\(n_o=\cfrac{2n-p+1}{2}\) and

\(n_p=\cfrac{2n-q+1}{2}\) 

starting with the odd position prediction find candidates for \(n_{g1}\) and \(n_{o1}\) under the constrain,

\(p_{1} +q_{1}=2(n+1)\)

then use the even position prediction to find candidates for \(n_{g2}\) and \(n_{o2}\) under the constrain,

\(p_{2} +q_{2}=2(n+2)\)

repeat till no possible candidates for \(n_{gi}\) and \(n_{oi}\) can be found.  The series ends.

Does Goldbach has long hairs?  Spirally long hairs?
