	Admissible prime constellations
		This conjecture is known as the prime k-tuple conjecture.
		In the same memoir [1], Hardy and Littlewood conjectured, based on empirical evidence, that rho(x) <= pi(x) for x >= 2, where rho(x) is the largest number of primes that occur indefinitely often in an interval of length x.
		In 1974, Hensley and Richards proved that the pi(x) conjecture is incompatible with the prime k-tuple conjecture (see [3] for a summary of their work, and [4, problem A9]).

	Enumeration to 1.6*10^15 of the prime quadruplets
		The validity of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture (2.3) is critical to our estimate (4.1) of Brun's B_4 constant and the associated error bound.
		However, it would appear that a more rigorous error bound must await a deeper understanding of the subtleties in the distribution of the prime quadruplets in particular, and the prime constellations in general.

		The conjecture I will assume is a generalization of Dirichlet's primes in arithmetic progression, and is very similar to the Hardy- Littlewood conjecture.
		Therefore, if we assume the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture* is true*, then there exists a set of k consecutive primes such that the sum of every two of them produces a distinct number.
		D is not divisible by 67, 137, 277, or 557, so by the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture and its generalization, there are an infinite number of x values for which all four of these numbers are prime.

		The study of prime numbers is part of number theory, the branch of mathematics which encompasses the study of natural numbers.
		Prime numbers have been the subject of intense research, yet some fundamental questions remain such as the Riemann hypothesis or the Goldbach conjecture, which have been open for more than a century.
		The problem of modeling the distribution of prime numbers is a popular subject of investigation for number theorists: When looking at individual numbers, the primes seem to be randomly distributed, but the "global" distribution of primes follows well-defined laws.
