The Fibonacci numbers seem intimately connected with geometry. Prime numbers appear to avoid geometrics, however. Can you give some counterexamples of this latter statement?
What geometric applications do prime numbers have?

A set of n objects can be place in an i by j rectangular array with i and j both greater than one if and only if n is NOT prime.

Is the set of points constituting (n>1)-dimensional rectangular quadrilaterals and numbered non-prime larger than such a set numbered prime? Does this hold for both n real and n integer?

Rectangles and prime cardinality
Sorry for the mix-up.
Please consider the special case:
"Is the count of all rectangles each containing a total non-prime number of points greater than the count of all rectangles each containing a total prime number of points?
