The sequences of real numbers {ai}i=1∞\left\{a_{i}\right\}_{i=1}^{\infty} and {bi}i=1∞\left\{b_{i}\right\}_{i=1}^{\infty} satisfy an+1=(an−1−1)(bn+1)a_{n+1}=\left(a_{n-1}-1\right)\left(b_{n}+1\right) and bn+1=anbn−1−1b_{n+1}=a_{n} b_{n-1}-1 for n≥2n \geq 2, with a1=a2=2015a_{1}=a_{2}=2015 and b1=b2=2013b_{1}=b_{2}=2013. Evaluate, with proof, the infinite sum

∑n=1∞bn(1an+1−1an+3)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} b_{n}\left(\frac{1}{a_{n+1}}-\frac{1}{a_{n+3}}\right)
