I haven't been paying much attention to this, so may be barking up a different tree. Has attention been given to expressing a positive real as the sum of distinct egyptian fractions less than one? For example pi = {2,3,4,...,33,34,43,7884,99771155,16909840222780252,...} (or thereabouts) Of course, we all know why unit fractions are called `egyptian fractions' -- from the Hungarian `egy' for one.

I expect it to be completely different.
