I've realized that the way I explained the "patterns" is very different from what I was doing when I noticed them. which makes sense as I was not trying to explain that little "game". it's not a game it's just counting and writing primes in some base, and a dash instead for every composite. as the gaps get bigger I draw a triangle instead of 3 dashes; and then any glyph with as many strokes as dashes. doing it in different bases helps to think about the numbers without their decimal representation. which I guess is the point, and might be helping me imagine patterns that may or may not be there. if I learned anything from doing this is that there is no pattern, it just seems as if there is one but it's never really there. I like to think that the "patterns" expire, they have only so many uses in them. often just one use which breaks the point of being a 'pattern', but that's primes; is all am saying.
