Reciprocal Mersenne Subseries
Summary. A weighted summability criterion proves irrationality of reciprocal Mersenne subseries: if h is the part of a supported on a finite nonempty prime set P, every infinite A with ∑

Use: truncated weights define a different greedy problem, and
the quotient-row construction uses integer weights rather than the
original real weights. These are not automatically four readings of the
same decision stream. Their relevance to full-weight membership comes
from the approximation, limit, or identification theorems cited for each
construction. A certificate at one range does not transfer to another
without such a theorem, and these reports do not decide the universal
problem.
