(All the sets in this discussion are sets of positive integers.) I say a set $V$ is “rational” if it satisfies one of the following conditions:
I. $V$ is finite (or empty);
II. $V$ can be written as the union of a finite (possibly empty) set and finitely many arithmetic progressions of infinite length.
Letting $\Delta$ denote the symmetric difference operation, I say that a set $W$ is “almost rational” if there exists a rational set $V$ such that $V\Delta W$ has zero natural density. Clearly, every $W$ of density $0$ or $1$ is almost rational (with $V$ being any finite set in the former case, and $V$ being any set whose complement is finite, in the latter case). My question is: are there any sets of positive natural density which are not almost rational?
