    Bent Numbers?

    What is prime? Who/what is the first Prime? Does all come from one?


    Behold the prime number cross:



    All the primes fall on eight rays. Every prime occurs next to a number that's a multiple of six.

    But wait! The number one is not prime.


    That's bent.

    Here are the 1st primes up to 200:

    2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199

    notice that 2 and 3 are in there, and NOT next to a 6 number.

    Also, the diagram should be an ever widening spiral instead of circles.

    ...and is there some proof that as you get to higher primes, the 6 "rule" still is in force?
