JSH: Biggest mystery, pondering again hostility

I've been curious for years about hostile reactions to my postings,
and for lots of reasons, including in the past worrying that posters
were working to block widespread acceptance of my research, which is a
concern which has faded. It's not that I don't think negative claims
against my work have an impact. I think they do. It's just that I
now see an advantage in the "blocking" as I see it, as it allows me to
work on problems without being bothered with concerns of anyone
stealing my ideas, often for years at a time. Reality is that
mathematicians probably feel terror at the idea of continuing any of
my research, knowing they will face outright hostility and rage in
response. That protects my research directions.

However it does remain puzzling, as one benefit I've gained over the
years has been the gift of just being occupied with my various
mathematical musings, which I've noted are of great interest to me.
To be upfront, I even call it, my math. I even named my math blog, my
math. It IS my math.

Now some will berate me for posting about my math musings as if it's
this terrible thing for me to put it forward as important when I think
it's important. Which doesn't seem to work I've noticed. Somehow
posts still seem to keep coming out about my math despite their
efforts, despite years of trying by them, and many more besides them,
most of whom years ago gave up.

So what gives? Many of these posters routinely tell me I'm a failure,
and claim that I have nothing to show for years of effort. Um, but I
have an entire blog of my math. I like it. They may claim that no
one else does. And that my efforts are pointless and futile, and I
wonder, why?

If I say I like keeping myself occupied and have done so with my math,
how can they claim that my efforts are pointless and futile as they
continue to work at convincing me to stop posting, when after over a
decade such efforts have failed?

Why do they keep doing the same thing over and over again without any
change in the result?

Even more intriguingly, they claim I am the one who does that, but
today I have my prime counting function. It counts primes. It
works. They say, it's not new or interesting, but to me, it is my
math. If you had your own three-dimensional prime counting function,
a P(x,y) function while the math world still has a pi(x), two-
dimensional function, would you not at least consider that kind of
cool as YOUR math?

I discovered tautological spaces. They say that's not new or
interesting. But it's my math. I came up with my own definition of
mathematical proof. They say there are plenty of such definitions.
But I say, it's my math.

My math is the object ring. I find it interesting. I find my prime
residue axiom (even if you don't think it's an axiom, I do),
fascinating. With it I have a prime gap equation, which can predict
counts if twin primes, or other gaps. It's my math. I like it.

Result after result has intrigued me for years. Yes, some of those
results I feel *should* be important to others and I've said as much,
as, for instance, part of my math is showing the ring of algebraic
integers contradicting the field of complex numbers which I think
should interest SOMEONE, but they say, it's wrong. They say it's not
interesting. I say, it's my math.

So what is the mystery?

How can seemingly intelligent people keep doing the same thing over
and over again, year after year, without any change in the result?

I have lots of results that I call my math, which THEY say are all
worthless, useless or previously known. But I like them, because
they're my math.

Does anyone know why people would do the SAME THING year after year
after year after year without any change in the result?

If I'd stopped years ago when the first posters started on the endless
treadmill of trying to block free speech on Usenet by insulting me,
then I don't think I'd have my own prime counting function, nor my
object ring. I find it hard to believe I'd have my prime residue
axiom, or my tautological spaces.

But why would I listen to people who DO THE SAME THING YEAR AFTER YEAR
WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN THE RESULT?

How do some define insanity?

Would you have listened to them? Did you? Do you now?

They protected my research for years because they could block so many
of you worldwide off from fascinating mathematical concepts. Isn't
THAT intriguing?

I find it fascinating. How much of my math would have been your math
if that had not occurred? Thankfully that is a question that will
never be answered. History would have changed. But maybe it was all
fate. So many different things had to occur at just the right time,
including the rise of the Internet, the arrival of Google, and now the
dominance of Twitter.

Given what they knew at the time those posters had no way of knowing
that years later, some company called Google would arrive, and a
search on its search engine on the definition of mathematical proof
would bring up a page on my math blog as #1 for people all over the
world. Who knew? Who could have guessed?

Now I've been amused by those posters who do THE SAME THING YEAR AFTER
YEAR WITH THE SAME RESULT declaring boldly that Google search results
do not matter? Was I surprised by their assertions?

Nope.

Oh, so why are they still so confident? Seems they have a rather
naive definition of fame. Like most people they seem to think they
know it when they see it. They say my aim is fame (and maybe
fortune?) and that as long as I'm not famous by their standards then I
have nothing.

What small minds. As if fame is a motivator for someone like me.

Because everybody loves a good laugh, and your one claim to fame is
that you are the longest running clown on the internet.
But you are OUR clown.

Then again though, I suppose small minds are awed by small little
discoveries.

Hope that clears things up for you,

James,

This post is about you. Therefore the responses you get are going to
be about you; not about your maths, but about you. If you want that
kind of response then keep making these kind of postings.

There are however some of us who wish to discuss maths for its own
sake. If you would like that kind of discussion (and after all that's
what sci.math is actually for) then post something that is primarily
mathematical in content. Just so long as your understand that once you
post here it is no longer your math but everyone's math.

To everyone else: yes, we all see the excessive personal pronoun
count, the irony of the insanity definition (IN UPPER CASE!) and the
silly Google search result statements. Let it go, people.

Right. It's not about fame. It's about Oprah.

"Well, if I can get [my proof of FLT accepted], then I hopefully get a
book deal down the road, and maybe I get to go on 'Oprah'."

And who can blame you for that?

I would say it's due to the overwhelming numbers of the words "I", "me" and
"my" in your posts.

This entire post is complete bullshit. If you cared about your math
you'd be home doing math, not starting fights on Usenet and playing
games with other peoples' minds.

Correct.

Because you are too thick to understand it. Maybe if you are told
millions of times the idea will penetrate your little brain.

There's no need to be insulting. It's a good question: why don't
people tire of telling James he's wrong? Surely it's not because they
think he'll say, "Oh, I see. How silly of me." Wouldn't that be as
quixotic as hoping to dig up a large diamond in your back yard or find
a simple proof of FLT?

I'm not sure you have the expertise to assert that *nobody* else is
interested in the Harris's "object ring", or Musatov's axiom #19, or
the so-called "prime gap equation". (BTW, Musatov's axiom #19, which
James refers to as his "prime residue axiom", is in fact the work of
James Harris, and only got named after Musatov in one of those
historical accidents of attribution so common to mathematics.
Unfortunately the name has stuck, and it's far too late to correct it
now.)

Not a very good definition of insanity. Not all insane people are
obsessed with mathematical words and posting to Usenet.

Again, I dispute your expertise. The net is a big place.

You do yourself an injustice James. Your Prime Counting method works
(albeit slowly) as do your various Surrogate Factoring Methods, again
slowly.

You have also independently found other known results from (mostly)
19th century mathematics.

What you have not done is to establish a body of original work that
would justify your overblown and grandiose claims to mathematical
stardom.

All true, as I said above.

>math.

It is not new, it is a minor variant of an existing formula. It was
indeed new to you because you appear not to have studied the work of
your predecessors: Lagrange, Dirichlet, Euler, Laplace, Galois, Gauss
etc. If you do that then you will be able to avoid areas that have
already been worked on and find something new to look at.

>I have lots of results that I call my math, which THEY say are all

You are prefectly entitled to like them. We are equally entitled not
to like them. Our opinion differs from yours. We see them as useless
(often because they are too slow) or previously known.

I suggest that you learn more 19th century mathematics so you can
avoid the "previously known" criticism. You can easily check what is
already known and find something not previously known to work at.

We at sci.math, and sci.physics feel sorry for you. To see such a mind
wasted by NPD, instead of discovering real things, too bad, so sorry for you

Do you mean de la Vallee Poussin? His last name is "de la Vallee

He proved that the density of the set of primes congruent to a modulo
d is asymptotic to x/phi(d)log(x); I would say that Chebotarev's
Density Theorem is a better fit, but I can see how you can connect it

Yep, that's the guy; shows what happens when I don't check my

Chebotarev if I understand correctly (which I might not) generalises
the question of density so definitely a better fit. On the other hand
for the purposes of this discussion de la Vallee Poussin is more
obviously matching James' ideas since if d is prime (as it is in
James' axiom) then 1/phi(d) = 1/(d-1) which leads to the terms used in
the twin primes probability function.

Twin primes proof follows with a short argument from the prime residue
axiom.

> Your "twin primes probability function" is a variant of the Prime
> Number Theorem.

Actually I separated out the prime distribution, which makes for a
simpler twin primes probability calculation!

The prime distribution is NOT random, so there has been confusion when
it is mixed in with twin primes, like by working with the twin primes
distribution itself. By separating out the random portion I answered
several mysteries about primes, as there has long been a sense that
SOMETHING about them IS random.

I show what that something is.

Also note that the prime residue axiom leads to the prime gap
equation, which handles prime gaps of arbitrary even length.

So you can DO more with the prime residue axiom.

It is intriguing though that posters have alternated between claiming
the prime residue axiom is NOT true, and claiming that it is already
proven, which says something about the power of human denial.

Here the math newsgroups are arguing both sides! Fascinating.

Oh, and one can come up with a rather powerful argument disproving
Goldbach's Conjecture with the prime residue axiom, though I've
disliked that notion for years, so I've pondered at times ways around
it!

But that just may denial of my own.

Thanks for the clarification. Regarding arguing both sides I would say
that this shows that sometimes people can be mistaken. The consensus
is heading towards Arturo's excellent summary in response to my
previous post (which also corrected my spelling speaking of being
mistaken).

My view for what it's worth is that your axiom is a specific case of
something that was proved much more generally around the turn of the
previous century. Your stuff about "random" merely demonstrates you
don't understand what the term means. The twin primes probability
function is incorrect as it leaves out an important constant.

If you like I will give you clear steps on how to improve your work,
although it will require you to do some self-education.

Another hypothesis is that there is confusion about
what the "prime residue axiom" says.

Note:
The residues are uniform. This is well known
The residues are not random. This is well known

Do not bother pointing out that there is no way to
predict a given residue. If all sequences were
either random or perfectly predictable
you would have a point. However, there are many non random
sequences that are not perfectly predictable.

People on math newsgroups arguing two contradictory opinions is just
interesting.

It's predictable though, as I've noted repeatedly that proof doesn't
matter with many of you.

So of course you can quite comfortably have a situation where some
posters say the prime residue axiom is wrong, while others claim it's
not new, without any discomfort to any of you.

If I'm right "random" may be defined by prime residues relative to
other primes.

Which could mean that in reality itself THAT is where "random" is
born.

Believe me, if that is true, your opinion one way or the other is
irrelevant.

But I also think it kind of, well, not as much fun as it not being
true.

Sort of scary if numbers control reality to that extent.

Space does not permit more than a few general points.

(1) Please try and understand the meaning of the term axiom. An axiom
is not proved. If what appears to be an axiom can be derived from
other axioms then it is not an axoim.

(2) In order to meaningfully discuss the distribution of primes then
you need to be across current mathematical knowledge including (but
not limited to) the prime number theorem, the zeta function,
techniques to solve prime probability functions etc. See the
references for (2). The first is very hard but provides links to Wiki
for most of the terms and techniques used and is an excellent example
of the sort of quality and knowledge and clarity to which you should
aspire if you wish to speak with authority in this area. The second is
less rigorous but easier to follow.

(3) Your prime probability function is a variant of a Euler product.
Let us take a generalised instance:

M(i=k to n) (p_i + a) / (p_i + b)

where k is chosen so that p_i + a and p_i + b are always greater than
zero. Your probability function is a particular case of a=-2, b=-1 and
k=2.

My generalised instance approaches the following as n -> infinity:

c(a,b) * ln(p_n)^(a-b)

where c(a,b) is some constant that varies with a and b. For your
function c(-2.-1) ~ 0.7413... and so your probability function
approaches

0.7413/ln(p_n)

From here it is possible to create any number of twin prime counting
functions (or more generally counting for any gap). For example I came
up with

pi2(p_n^2) ~ c*n^2

where c is a constant ~0.29... I am certain that this is a known
result.

(4) Your twin prime counting function is consistently out by a
multiplicative factor of about 1.12... This is because use are making
an assumption about the probability function that is not true. In
particular when determining its value you need to use certain
techniques similar to those in the second reference for (2); resolving
differential equations and allowing for constants. Apart from that the
function is in fact correct and it has been a disappointment that you
have not been able to follow this when it is pointed out to you.
Claiming it is due to statistical variation makes you look like
someone in the sort of denial you often accuse others of. No
references but I encourage you to write some code for yourself to test
this and the points I have made in (3). As a first step generate a
file of prime numbers and then run some checks.

The intention was that you spent several hours doing some study but
perhaps that was not a reasonable expectation.

The point of (3) is that any function of the form M(i=1 to n)(p_i + m -1)/
(p_i + m) will approximate to c/ln(p_n) where c is some constant.

The point of (2) among other things is that the PNT tells us that for any
sufficiently large number n the prime density near n approaches 1/ln(n).
By extension the density of twin primes is proportional to 1/ln(n)^2.

The point of (4) is that your twin prime counting function (as you give
it in your examples) multiplies the local prime density (1/ln(p)) by the
probability function (c/ln(p)) to get a solution that is proportional to
the actual density of twin primes. The actual proportion is the value
1.12.... This of course is close enough to 1 to enable you to provide
examples where the count and the prediction match over small intervals.

Note: strictly speaking you take the density around p^2. This is 1/ln
(p^2) = .5/ln(p) so the point remains; feel free to work it through.

Therefore any probability function which multiplies out a term like this:

(p_i +m-1)/(p_i +m)

up to p_n will, when multiplied against the number of primes around p_n
(or indeed a power of p_n) will give approximately the same proportion
against the number of twin (or gap 4 or gap 6 etc) primes in the interval
for any large p_n.

With a sufficiently large interval (say 100,000+) the effect is quite
noticeable to three decimal places.

In my last post I typed (but then deleted) a prediction that you briefly
read my post and then immediately dismiss it. In my experience (and I
note Mark's comment to your response) this is the typical response when
the maths gets too difficult for you. I do believe that your energies
would be better spent learning what has been happening in the field.

I am glad you mentioned the correlation. I have always found the
interrelatedness of natural logs, primes, sums of reciprocals and
calculus in this area to be fascinating to the point of being like music
to me. My hope is that will learn to get the same sense.

Ok, I'll try to help you out a little further then if you DO actually
find the subject fascinating.

The probability calculation I give uses the count of primes in the
interval p_{j-1}^2 to p_j^2, as that calculation requires the use of
the primes from p_j down. As you multiply the count of primes in that
interval by:

prob = ((p_j - 2)/(p_j -1))*((p_{j-1} - 2)/(p_{j-1} - 1))*...*(1/2)

to get the expected count of twin primes

which makes it an ENORMOUS simplification on the prior art with
respect to twin primes!

I've *claimed* that the closeness of the count is related to the
distance p_j - p_{j-1}, with the hypothesis that the GREATER that
distance the more accurate the probability, while the LESSER that
distance the less accurate it is (it's actually far worse than 1.12 in
fact with larger primes), with the worst being with ***twin primes***
p_j and p_{j-1}, when the primes are large.

Now to me that's just the kind of fun assertion that a true student of
math might find interesting as presumably the primes do SOMETHING when
you look at them in that way.

Now I'm giving you a chance to see that correlation thingy upfront and
personal. To feel the mathematics like a living breathing even
musical presence, since you made a musical claim.

To maybe even get that ephemeral sense that you're in touch with the
mind of God.

Or you can reply with some typical bullshit and claim that I'm the one
in denial.

But at the end, who cares what you do. Others can see for themselves,
and understand why primes are so fascinating in a new way. They can
get a personal feel for the primes. Like they're close friends.

James,

Given that two other posters have already seen what I am saying and
warned me you would not get it then it is reasonable to assert that you
simply don't understand the maths and lack either the will or the ability
to ever do so.

The correlation was explained; you just don't get it.

You made a claim about the accuracy between two primes. The accuracy is
in fact best when the gap between p_(j-1) and p_j is close to ln(j). Your
claim simply reinforces the fact that you don't understand what you are
doing.

You also claim an enormous simplification. Actually using the maths you
have ignored I give an even simpler expression: the number of twin primes
between (p_n)^2 and (p_(n+1))^2 equals c*n where c ~ .582...

You can't help me go further until you catch up. Currently your knowledge
of primes is roughly in the early 19th century with gaps.

James, you pushed back when people claimed that you were interested in
fame. There are now three claims on this thread that you are uninterested
in learning anything, my own included, and your behaviour has only
provided clear evidence. How many times do I have to improve, clarify,
generalise or simplify your work until you understand?

something wrong with human nature itself. To me, this is even more

It's an invite to an experiment dude.

You may already know that you can get a fairly good estimate of how
many primes between p_{j-1}^2 and p_j^2 are twin primes with a
probability calculation on the count of primes.

For instance:

prob = ((p_j - 2)/(p_j -1))*((p_{j-1} - 2)/(p_{j-1} - 1))*...*(1/2)

For example, between 5^2 and 7^2, there are 6 primes. The probability
then is given by:

prob = ((5-2)/(5-1))*((3-2)/(3-1) = (3/4)*(1/2) = 0.375

And 6*0.375 = 2.25 so you expect 2 twin primes in that interval. And
they are 29, 31 and 41, 43.

But that's old news! The experiment comes in with that distance 7-5 =
2, which is the closest you can be, and what I'm saying is that you
can look to see how well the probability does with that distance, and
there has to be an answer, right?

You could find the distance has no correlation with the accuracy,
which I'm saying won't happen!

But if it does, why? Why should it matter to the prime numbers how
far apart the primes are that define the interval for this simplified
twin primes probability calculation? Why?

I've actually presented the poster "MichaelW" with this before, and he
dodged the question, which is how I know he's a big fat liar. He
blows a lot of hot air but if you trust him you're an idiot.

He hides behind that 1.12 number as if it's the full story, but
there's detail in the granularity, when you get down to how the primes
behave depending on the distance between the two primes that define
the interval.

Hey, even if you think there's nothing there. It's an easy enough
thing to calculate if you're really bored.

Very occaisionally, James does "get it", but this is a rare ocurrence
indeed.

This has been an interesting debate. I've learned enough about the
discussed topics (from you!) to become interested in reading further.

James has simply provided my morning entertainment, along with the daily
cartoons and other trivia that I follow.

James, Michael, Thank You!

James, if I understand you there is now a new claim which you posted late
in this thread and which is new to me. If you think this is important
then you should probably started a new thread.

As I understand it you are saying that for the square of any two adjacent
primes (call them q1 = (p_j)^2 and q2=(p_(j+1))^2 we have two numbers:

t1 = the actual number of twin prime pairs between q1 and q2 and
t2 = prob function for p_j times the number of primes between q1 and q2

Now you give t2 as a prediction of t1. I have stated that as j ->
infinity that t2 = t1 * 1.12...

My understanding now is that you are indicating that the accuracy of the
prediction (that is, the variation between t2 and t1) is correlated to
the difference between the primes (that is, p_(j+1) - p_j).

I have some scripts that I can run to do the proposed experiment but you
will need to give me a couple of days due to Real Life commitments. In
the meantime could you let me know (1) if I have accurately represented
your position as summarised here:

<quote>


You could find the distance has no correlation with the accuracy, which
I'm saying won't happen!

</quote>

Also (2) what I would do is run the analysis for j ranging from (say)
1000 to 2000 and for each gap (that is, for 2,4,6...) where there is a
significant sample size (say 10 in this case) give the average accuracy.
Would you consider this an adequate sampling approach?

Finally regarding this:

I don't think I have dodged the question. It's your conjecture; you
should do your own damned code. Out of the kindness of my heart I have
provided a development proposal.

The other inaccuracy is what I'm blowing; that's not air dude. It is true
that anyone who trusts me is an idiot. That is why I provide references
to the good work of small skinny honest people.

The following functions:

1+1/2+1/3+1/4...

M(over primes p):(p-k)/(p-k-1)

Natural logarithms and by extension the prime number theorem

Riemann zeta function for s=1

are all *correlated* in that they are variants of the same thing.
Analytics that work on any one can be used to obtain greater
understanding of the others.

Regards, Michael W.

P.S. You can stop there but for further technical clarification I provide
the following:

Note that I am not saying that they are exactly equal; there may be the
addition or multiplication of a constant or equality comes as numbers
increase.

Since these all represent approaches to the density of primes then by
extension the density of twin primes can be calculated by combining any
two. For example in your algorithm you combine the second (probability
function) and the third (when you count the number of primes between two
points).

Personally I prefer combining the third with itself (i.e. Hardy-
Littlewood) but as noted this is not a *different* approach rather a
different toolset on the *same* approach.

My idea rips the prime distribution out of the equation.

THAT is MY point which you seem intent on ignoring or missing over and
over and over again.

So no, it doesn't correlate with ANYTHING you mentioned and the
correlation is a well-defined value when you're talking about a
predicted value and an actual value. Here you seem to not be sure
what that entity is.

I suggest you read up on it!

Notice that my twin primes probability probability calculation works
by taking the ACTUAL COUNT of prime numbers in the interval p_{j-1}^2
to p_j^2, and multiplying times:

prob = ((p_j - 2)/(p_j -1))*((p_{j-1} - 2)/(p_{j-1} - 1))*...*(1/2)

For example:

For example, between 5^2 and 7^2, there are 6 primes. The probability
then is given by:

prob = ((5-2)/(5-1))*((3-2)/(3-1) = (3/4)*(1/2) = 0.375

And 6*0.375 = 2.25 so you expect 2 sets of twin primes in that
interval.

And those twin primes are 29, 31 and 41, 43.

Got it? It's SIMPLE!!! IDIOT SIMPLE!!!!!!!

Since the result equals prediction correlation is 1. But that's just
one example, and you need to do a lot of them, where I've predicted a
potential relationship with the distance p_j - p_{j-1}.

So I'm suggesting there are interesting questions raised by this
simple technique which has a correlation--I think--which indicates
something by traditional theories of probability and statistics.

That is, I'm appealing to mainstream interpretation for once. Which
may be why you're dancing all around the "correlation" word!

You don't like the answer.

The poster to whom I was replying repeatedly failed to address the
issue of "correlation" while being dismissive of mathematical ideas
where that is an important issue as to their real value.

That is not exactly a nice thing to do!

I'm emphasizing that the actual twin primes probability calculation is
VERY simple, as it is, especially in comparison to prior research on
twin primes.

Your response is territorial, which I see as a bizarre reality where
some posters think they have a math "territory" so they fight
perceived intruders.

I liken it to people who fight over seats next to them on a bus,
glaring at other people who think about sitting down and trace it back
to feudal yearnings and a desire for a class system where the poster
perceives themselves as some kind of royal person i.e. as nobility.

So to yourself you are some kind of Usenet noble and I'm some
"commoner" who refuses to acknowledge your "class rights".

I like that link referral as it's an article I helped edit. Curious
readers should look over the Talk section.

Posters who repeatedly insult in order to try to control other posters
and then claim that it's the target who is the problem are fascinating
so I study them. And I tell them that I study them!

It doesn't make any difference. They are locked in a weird brain
cycle as the perception of inherent nobility is so appealing to them.

They are wannabe royalty. Accepting the truth means giving up what
may be their primary basis for ego acceptance.

That is, it's the only way they feel important. So the delusion is
unfixable.

If you're think you're a noble, then what's the upside of accepting
that you are not?

When you first raised the word "correlation" it was in this text:
<quote>


But what's the correlation?

I mean, dude, you're not making any sense. Nothing you put in the
post can handle just that simple question which shows all you put is
crap.

Can you connect the dots?

What's the correlation?
</quote>

Since it was in reply to a set of ideas related to the prime number
theorem I assumed that James was using the word in its general sense.
That is, he were saying "how do logarithms and Euler products related
to each other". Others who popped in comments took it the same way.
James' subsequent posts did little to clarify the issue.

It is now possible (but still not clear) that what is meant is
statistical correlation. That is, he is referring to the how close the
algorithm matches the actual count of twin primes. Given that James is
not using the word "correlation" in this context entirely correctly
and it came out of left field in a discussion about something else the
misunderstanding was inevitable.

Anyway once I got that there is a new idea being raised I suggested a
new thread and indeed a new thread has been started on the issue of
accuracy and correlation. It will be recalled that I have already in
fact run a statistical analysis for twin primes up to 5*10^8 so
modifying the code for these requirements will not take long. See
everyone over on the new JSH thread!

I get the impression that James thinks a lot faster than he types,
which is not unusual. However he also assumes that we are thinking the
same thoughts as we are reading. Hence his writing can make large
jumps of logic which are clear to him (at least at the time he is
writing) but are not clear to us.

Which begs the question of what other kind of "correlation" could have
been imagined?

Whatever floats your boat dude. To me I LIKE pondering the subject,
and think the mathematics might be interesting (maybe not). So to me
continually raising questions and considering possibilities is part of
mathematical discovery. Fun in and of itself.

But I think some of you just like to deny anything I say. Oddly
enough.

So such considerations mean NOTHING to you, so it can take repetition,
repetition, repetition, and usually that doesn't work either!

And again, one wonders, what could any math person possibly think
other than the correlation of the expected count of twin primes with
the results predicted by my twin primes probability simplification
given that was being discussed?

What else is there?

Makes sense to me, but to posters who make it their business to argue
with me endlessly I guess there's always something else, eh? Always
some way to make something simple, with a clear mathematical meaning
into some supposed "crackpot" rantings of a deluded person who they
claim refuses to learn.

Luckily for them that is fascinating in its own right, as going off-
topic, I see it in so many areas! It can help people understand, say,
how Republicans can fight, anything that Democrats do. Or how some
nations can do the weirdest things as they undermine themselves. Or
how businesses can gleefully destroy themselves claiming it's
everybody else's fault!

So I study a wide range of areas, including politics, and things like
the recent financial crash, as well as international politics,
carrying lessons learned from Usenet arguments!

But I digress.

There is solid evidence for this; James reading his own material some
time after writing it and commenting publically on how inpenetrable it
is.

Here he becomes his own target audience, and is caught out in exactly
the way you say.

James,

My view is that each of us should have given the other the benefit of
the doubt and (rather than assume deliberately bad behaviour) consider
where there might be areas of misunderstanding. For my part I should
have been more considerate to your obvious frustration.

For what it is worth I think your algorithm exactly correlates with
the count of twin primes. I just don't think that the two numbers are
the same. More on the new thread.
