Character range conjecture for Stanley sequences

For a regular Stanley sequence S(A)S(A), let λ(A)\lambda(A) denote its character. The range of the character function is the set of values attained by λ(A)\lambda(A) over regular Stanley sequences. Character range conjecture. This range is exactly

{nZ:n0}{1,3,5,9,11,15}.\{n\in\mathbb{Z}: n\ge 0\}\setminus\{1,3,5,9,11,15\}.

The claim is based on computational evidence: the six excluded values were found impossible in the examined cases, while all other values up to 7676 were realized; the source notes that the asserted impossibility was not definitive because irregularity had not been ruled out for certain sequences.
