Jan 5, 2017 at 17:38 comment added Joel David Hamkins You are right, and that prevents limit=0, but the idea still works for liminf by adding all strings of length n for a sufficiently sparse set of n.

Jan 5, 2017 at 17:09 comment added Andreas Blass @JoelDavidHamkins Your suggestion seems to require being able to tell when a string is incompressible, but as far as I know, incompressibility is only co-r.e.

Jan 5, 2017 at 16:26 comment added Joel David Hamkins In fact, that idea will make $X$ have density zero, with lim=0 instead of merely liminf.
Jan 5, 2017 at 16:09 comment added Joel David Hamkins Can't you just add another such string, and then wait a long time, adding nothing, so that the density comes down very low, before adding the next one, of correspondingly long length? (And could you clarify whether you intend that $X$ is a set of strings, or a set of numbers from which strings are drawn? And does $X^{\leq n}$ means the subset of $X$ of strings of length at most $n$?)
