Decimal expansion of Sum_{k >= 1} A010051(k)/2^(k-1).
The primes have a larger measure than the composites as they dominate the lower integers.
The binary JIS function (as defined in A113829) for this constant (that we may call the van der Waerden-Ulam constant W) is given by the first differences of A000720, A000720(n+1) - A000720(n) = A010051(n+1) = JIS[W,2]. - Artur Jasinski, Jun 02 2008
