Factorial-plus-one bump conjecture for A(n)A(n)

Define

A(n)=h(n!+1),A(n)=h(n!+1),

where hh is the function used in the paper.

The A(n)A(n) bump conjecture. There are arbitrarily large nn such that

A(n)<A(n+1).A(n)<A(n+1).

The paper notes that prime-value heuristics for n!+1n!+1 support this conjecture, while no proof of infinitely many such bumps is known.
