A little explaination might help.
Sum[(PrimePi[k + 1] - PrimePi[k])/2^k, {k, 1, Infinity}] + 
Sum[(-1PrimePi[k + 1] + PrimePi[k])/2^k, {k, 1, Infinity}] =1
Dr. Ulam invented this for general sequences based on a van der Wearden 
theorem.
This measure gives a binary measure of the primes and their co-set the 
composite numbers.
Since the primes are more "dense" early their weight is larger, but if 
you reverse
the direction of the sum and make it  large to small,
you get a more "representive" result in measure terms.
That was what my effort was about.
I have already put the two binaries in as digit sequences in OEIS
as they seemed both important and
interesting to me.
