Rolnick's character-range conjecture for independent Stanley sequences

Let S(A)=(an)S(A)=(a_n) be an independent Stanley sequence: there are constants λ=λ(A)\lambda=\lambda(A) and κ=κ(A)\kappa=\kappa(A) such that for all kκk\ge\kappa and 0i<2k0\le i<2^k, a2k+i=a2k+aia_{2^k+i}=a_{2^k}+a_i and a2k=2a2k1λ+1a_{2^k}=2a_{2^k-1}-\lambda+1. The constant λ\lambda is called the character of S(A)S(A). Rolnick's character-range conjecture. The range of the character function is exactly the set of nonnegative integers not in {1,3,5,9,11,15}\{1,3,5,9,11,15\}. The conjecture concerns which characters occur among independent Stanley sequences; the source reports constructions for every character up to 7575 except the six listed values and gives no resolution.
