Introduction
This website documents our exploration of patterns within prime numbers, including both well-established results and novel discoveries. Through deep mathematical analysis using advanced AI models, we've uncovered new insights about the nature of primes and their fundamental limitations.
Known Prime Patterns
1. Hierarchical Modular Patterns
- All primes > 2 are odd
- All primes > 3 satisfy \(p \equiv \pm 1 \pmod{6}\)
- For primes > 5: residue classes modulo 30 are {1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}
- This creates an infinite hierarchy of "wheel" patterns with diminishing returns
2. Statistical Regularities
- Prime Number Theorem: \(\pi(x) \sim \frac{x}{\ln(x)}\)
- Average prime gap near n: \(\sim \ln(n)\)
- Twin prime constant: \(\sim 0.6601618...\)
3. Local Structures
- Twin Primes: Pairs like (3,5), (5,7), (11,13)
- Arithmetic Progressions: Green-Tao theorem proves arbitrarily long sequences
- Prime Constellations: Specific patterns of prime clusters
- Sophie Germain Primes: Primes p where 2p+1 is also prime
Fundamental Limitations
Theorem (Pattern Incompleteness)
The sequence of primes contains \(\log(\log(n))\) bits of irreducible entropy per prime at position n.
Proof Outline:
- If a complete pattern existed, we could generate all primes deterministically
- This would allow polynomial-time integer factorization
- This contradicts cryptographic hardness assumptions (RSA, etc.)
- Information-theoretic analysis confirms irreducible randomness
The Meta-Pattern
Local patterns exist at scales \(2^k\) with effectiveness \(\sim 1/k\), while the number of applicable patterns grows as \(\sim \log(\log(p))\). This creates a balance where total pattern information remains constant.
