+The **Odd Noncototient Conjecture**: every non-cototient is even. Equivalently, every odd natural
+number is of the form $n - \phi(n)$ for some $n$.
+
+This is the unconditional form of `erdos_418.variants.conditional`, which derives the odd case from a
+strengthening of the Goldbach conjecture. See [Wikipedia: Noncototient].

+A sanity check for the definition: $7$ is a cototient, since $7 = 15 - \phi(15)$ and $\phi(15) = 8$.
+In particular $7$ is not a non-cototient.

 Erdős [Er73b] has shown that a positive density set of natural numbers cannot be written as
 $\sigma(n)-n$ (numbers not of this form are called nonaliquot, or sometimes untouchable).
