Positive-density reciprocal conjecture for uniformly distributed sets

From papers

Let ANA\subseteq\mathbb{N} be a set containing 00. Say that AA is uniformly distributed modulo every power of 22 if, for every k1k\geq1, its elements are uniformly distributed among the residue classes modulo 2k2^k. Say that AA is periodic if there exists a positive integer mm such that membership in AA depends only on the residue modulo mm. Its reciprocal is

A:={nN:nAA}.\overline{A}:=\{n\in\mathbb{N}:n-A\subseteq A\}.

Positive-density reciprocal conjecture. If AA contains 00, is not periodic, and is uniformly distributed modulo every power of 22, then A\overline{A} has positive density. The conjecture identifies a broad class of nonperiodic, 2-adically uniform sets whose reciprocals should be substantially larger than those of thin structured examples. The paper states it as the strongest conjecture consistent with its theorems and experiments; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
