Pulling Hair Off Goldbach

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

 ngi+1+noi+1=ng+no+i+1            i is odd, 1, 3, 5...

predicts the next pair ngi+1 and noi+1 from an odd position i odd.

ngi+1+noi+1=(2n+(i+1)2)ngno  i is even, 2, 4, 6

predicts the next pair ngi+1 and noi+1 from a even position i even.

Since ngi+1 and noi+1 is not guaranteed to ensure,

2(n+i+1)2noi+1+1=pi+1 and 2(n+i+1)2ngi+1+1=qi+1

where both pi+1 and qi+1 are prime and,

pi+1+qi+1=2(n+i+1)

Goldbach's Conjecture not proven here.

But take any pair of primes, p and q and calculate,

n=p+q2

no=2np+12 and

np=2nq+12 

starting with the odd position prediction find candidates for ng1 and no1 under the constrain,

p1+q1=2(n+1)

then use the even position prediction to find candidates for ng2 and no2 under the constrain,

p2+q2=2(n+2)

repeat till no possible candidates for ngi and noi can be found.  The series ends.

Does Goldbach has long hairs?  Spirally long hairs?
