From the abstract
It is known that prime numbers occupy specific geometrical patterns or moduli when numbers from one to infinity are distributed around polygons having sides that are integer multiple of number 6. In this paper, we will show that not only prime numbers occupy these moduli, but non-prime numbers sharing these same moduli have unique prime-ness properties. When utilizing digital root methodologies, these non-prime numbers provide a novel method to accurately identify prime numbers and prime factors without trial division or probabilistic-based methods. We will also show that the icositetragon (24-sided regular polygon) is a unique polygon pertaining to prime numbers and their ultimate incidence and distribution.

Clicking around a bit, I ended up reading https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570. It's describing an apparently faster way to identify prime numbers. Looks pretty legit to me, but still, reading the website, there's something... not quite off, but still... quirky, in a way I can't put my finger on. :/ TL;DR, what do others think of this paper?

The company has issued a "statement regarding recent allegations made at Black Hat 2019 [0]. For anyone interested, the statement links to the guy's paper [1] "where he identified the first Infinite Prime Number prediction pattern". > Utilizing multi-dimensional encryption technology, including time, music’s infinite variability, artificial intelligence, and most notably mathematical constancies to generate entangled key pairs, ... I'm not even remotely qualified to speak about any of it but it certainly gives the feeling that they're selling "silicon snake oil". My bullshit detector hit 11 after reading the above. Supposedly, Grant's discovery enables "the accurate prediction of prime numbers". I'm unable to find out just how many previously unknown prime numbers he has successfully predicted thus far, however. Anyone know?

On proof and progress in mathematics
William P. Thurston
In response to Jaffe and Quinn [math.HO/9307227], the author discusses forms of progress in mathematics that are not captured by formal proofs of theorems, especially in his own work in the theory of foliations and geometrization of 3-manifolds and dynamical systems.
