Maximilian,


2^3, 3^2, 5^1, 7^1, 11^0 <= x < 2^4, 3^3, 5^2, 7^2, 11^1

respectfully for x = 9 and 10. 

So, no. However, for each prime, your statement is true. In fact, that is part of the reason why I am checking on its sequence(s). 

I am not sure if it should considered one or many sequences. Richard pointed out in an email to me that: 

"The leftmost column is A000523, I guess, the next column A048766. The compound table is probably not in the OEIS." 

So, should a compound table be made or lots of sequences made and all referencing Chebyshev psi function? If compound table, then how to do that?
