Reducing the density increases the interval.

All even numbers have a "half" that is natural.

ω + 2 certainly, but ω*4 + 4?

Those are not even numbers, because they are infinite and not natural.

That's why I wrote it in German!  It has two different words for two of

On the other hand, sometimes distinct words in English translate to a
single word in German.  For example, safety and security both translate
to Sicherheit.  They're not the same thing.  A timebomb locked in a
filing cabinet is secure, but is hardly safe.
