The Architecture of Arithmetic: A Unified Field Theory of Primes
The distribution of prime numbers has long been characterized as one of the most enduring enigmas in mathematics—a sequence that appears stochastic at local scales yet exhibits a rigorous, hauntingly precise density at the scale of the infinite. Traditionally, the study of primes has been bifurcated between the discrete logic of number theory and the continuous tools of complex analysis. However, a nascent movement toward a geometric-algorithmic framework suggests that this "randomness" is a byproduct of our observational lens. By re-encoding composite numbers not as mere points on a line, but as structured, periodic interference patterns, we uncover a hidden order: a deterministic manifold where primes emerge as the necessary points of structural equilibrium. The Composite Field and the Geometry of Exclusion In this novel framework, the integers are reimagined as a dynamic field of overlapping periodicities. Composite numbers serve as the "material density" o...
