Exploring Prime Numbers & Square Roots

SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the relationship between prime numbers and square roots, particularly through a root system inspired by Euclid's ideas and congruences. The author identifies that prime numbers fall on a parabola with a vertex at 1/2, which relates to the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Hypothesis. The discussion also highlights a pattern in primes based on the formula 6(n) ± 1, leading to four groups of primes (P1, P5, P7, P11) that exhibit specific square congruences. Notably, all Mersenne Primes belong to group P7, and all Prime Squares are categorized in group P1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Riemann Hypothesis and non-trivial zeros

I have read several books on the Riemann Hypothesis and have a general understanding of the non-trivial zeros and their real part 1/2. In my own studies I have devised a root system based upon some of Euclid’s ideas and congruence that identifies some interesting properties of the square roots of prime numbers. I have included a graph of the root system which I hope visually depicts some these properties and their uses in factoring. In my root system prime numbers only fall on the parabola with the vertex of 1/2. I wonder what relation, if any, can be compared to the non-trivial zeros and their real part 1/2?

Interesting observance; 2 and 3 being the first two prime numbers make up the basic pattern in primes of 6(n)+-1 which accounts for 2/3 of all factorable numbers giving way to highly composite numbers. This factorability is the reason a base 12 system lends itself to grouping so nicely. With primes you get 4 groups of mod(p,12) outside of 2 and 3; = (1),(5),(7),(11). These 4 groups are derived from the pattern created by 2 and 3.
6(even) + 1 = (1)
6(odd) - 1 = (5)
6(odd) + 1 = (7)
6(even) – 1 = (11)
I like to refer to these groups as P1, P5, P7 and P11.
These 4 groups obviously contain composite numbers but they are nicely organized with their perfect square congruence. For instance, all P1 numbers have a mod (n1^2, 12) = 0 square congruence to mod (n2^2, 12) = 1 ( Group P1). The 4 groups’ square congruence is as follows;
P1 + (mod (n1^2, 12) = 0) == (mod (n2^2, 12) = 1)
P5 + (mod (n1^2, 12) = 4) == (mod (n2^2, 12) = 9)
P7 + (mod (n1^2, 12) = 9) == (mod (n2^2, 12) = 4)
P11 + (mod (n1^2, 12) = 1) == (mod (n2^2, 12) = 0)
Prime numbers: n1 = (P’ -1)/2 & n2 = (P’ +1)/2
Composite numbers: n1 <= (P’ -1)/2 & n2 <= (P’ +1)/2
Interesting results:
All Mersenne Primes are in P7.
All Prime Squares are in P1.
What would the proper equation for this be?
