Eric, A309529 and A309521 are an interesting pair of sequences!

For A309529 (I did a bit of editing), it would be interesting to see what
happens
when we look at more terms - does the sequence stay positive, or does it go
negative again at some point?

Maybe Lars could look at it?  It would be interesting to see the graphs of
the first X terms, for some
large values of X !

For the "primes" version, A309521 (again I did some editing), now that it
has been approved, we need a b-file!  Lars's comments suggest that this one
is going to keep growing for ever, unlike the first sequence.


Best regards
Neil
