I wonder what it feels like to end up in a world where you end up with a false prime
Oh that makes sense since there would be more factorization than you think
If you misclassify 5, 6 as a prime pair, then 30 has 3 factorizations instead of 1 so 3x weaker... and once you find one factorization the right one is probably easy to get to...

exactly. i think of primes as being this hardened structure that preserves the independence of all of its children (smaller numbers), in that none of them has a more specialized relationship to it and thus they are all equally protected by “anonymity”

a non-prime is a ‘weak structure’ that collapses along certain fault lines under questioning. those fault lines are its inherent weakness and are exploitable
