candidateconfidence 50%

VibeMathed reports this item as candidate. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

If $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ has unbounded dyadic-shell counts and $\sum_{n \in A} \|\theta n\| = \infty$ for every $0 < \theta < 1$, must $A$ be complete - is every sufficiently large integer a sum of distinct elements of $A$?

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
