I’m not a mathematician so correct me if I’m wrong, but the patterns that emerge or more the natural result of the plotting method vs revealing anything meaningful about the distribution of primes.
- saurik 2y agoThe article explicitly says as much. > So what’s clear here is that the spirals themselves have nothing to do with prime numbers; a much cleaner and fuller pattern can be seen when we plot all positive integers (as well as zero).
- fecal_henge 2y agoNot a mathematician either but I think some quadratics have a tendency to produce more primes than others. What you are seing is the characteristic of various quadratics when plotted in this way. I plotted something quite simmilar.
