[#R1204] Current status and unresolved remainder

claim. OPEN as of 2026-07-31. The maintained Erdős Problems database at commit 8138974387d9030542daabe67faaa33eff9356f8 lists Problem 141 as open. The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement. Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 141: For every integer \(k \geq 3\), does there exist a set of \(k\) consecutive primes in arithmetic progression? That is, for each \(k \geq 3\), does there exist a set \(s\) of natural numbers such that \(s\) forms an arithmetic progression of length \(k\) and consists of \(k\) consecutive primes?
