The density conjecture for the sets Sb,mS_{b,m} in SALIQUANT

From papers

For b>0b>0, let Sb,mS_{b,m} denote the set of inputs associated with the nim-value f(a,b,m)f(a,b,m) in SALIQUANT. The density conjecture for Sb,mS_{b,m}. If m=0m=0, then Sb,mS_{b,m} has positive density; if m>0m>0, then Sb,mS_{b,m} has density 00 but is nonempty. This conjecture refines the upper bound that the density of Sb,mS_{b,m} is at most 12m+1\frac{1}{2m+1}, and predicts that the experimentally observed nonzero values with m>0m>0 are sparse while the value m=0m=0 occurs with positive density.
