I wonder what it feels like to end up in a world where you end up with a false prime
So to answer your original question, to be a false prime would feel like being the crack in dam among several where it ruptures under pressure. You’d feel very unlucky being blamed for a failure that’s really systemic.

well yes that’s the latent possibility that would exist in a world where you chose a false prime — the possibility for someone to observe this aspect of your number choice would exist. the more likely scenario is that you would never know you ended up in this world
