Set (a_n=A+(n-1)d) (arithmetic) and (b_n=A,d^{,n-1}) (geometric) since first terms and common difference/ratio are equal.
Given (b_{k+i}=\frac1{a_i}-1) for (i=1,2,3), eliminate (k) by taking ratios:
[
\frac{b_{k+2}}{b_{k+1}}=d=\frac{\frac1{a_2}-1}{\frac1{a_1}-1},\quad
\frac{b_{k+3}}{b_{k+2}}=d=\frac{\frac1{a_3}-1}{\frac1{a_2}-1}.
]
Solve for ((A,d)). Then enforce convergence/inequality (0<\sum_{n\ge1}\left(b_n-\frac1{a_na_{n+1}}\right)<30) and existence of natural (k) from (A d^k=\frac1A-1). Finally compute
[
a_2\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_{2n}=(A+d)\cdot \frac{A d}{1-d^2}.
]
Use Python to solve and verify all constraints.

[THOUGHT] The Python verification found candidate ((A,d)) pairs but no values satisfying the required existence of a natural (k) together with (0<\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left(b_n-\frac1{a_na_{n+1}}\right)<30); hence there is no valid configuration under the stated constraints. Therefore (p+q=0). \boxed{0}
