The Cramér model selects integers n≥3 independently with probability 1/logn, and conventionally sets U1​=0, U2​=1. It is a random model for the distribution of primes, not an assertion of independence for actual prime numbers.

Cramér model
If Pn​ are the increasing selected integers in the Cramér model, then almost surely limsupn​(Pn+1​−Pn​)/(logPn​)2≤1. A zero block of length (1+ϵ)(logk)2 after k has summable probability, so the Borel-Cantelli first lemma excludes these blocks eventually.
