Finite-ray prediction accuracy hypothesis for prime numbers

From papers

Let rp0r_{p_0} be a ray with p0Cp_0\in\overline{C}. Let ll denote the number of correct decimal digits available in the floating-point arithmetic, and let n(l)n^*(l) be a finite index. For odd m=2n(l)+1m=2n^*(l)+1, let p~mp0\tilde p_{mp_0} be the natural number predicted by formulae (34) and (35), and let xx be a solution of equation (36) whose right-hand side is p(m1)p0p_{(m-1)p_0}. The prime number associated with the ray is denoted by pmp0p_{mp_0}. Finite-ray prediction accuracy hypothesis. For every ray rp0r_{p_0} with p0Cp_0\in\overline{C}, there exist finite numbers ll and n(l)n^*(l) such that p~mp0\tilde p_{mp_0} lies closer to pmp0p_{mp_0} than xx does. This compares the proposed finite-domain approximation with the usual logarithmic-integral inversion; the source provides numerical motivation but no proof or resolution.
