🌟 When Prime Numbers Become Structurally Observable — Not Just Classified

For centuries, prime numbers have been treated as a binary truth.

Prime.
Composite.
Yes or no.

Once the label is assigned, classical mathematics moves on.

But this raises a deeper question:

If primes are fundamental, why do we observe them only as labels — and not as structures?

Structural Primality asks a simple but precise question:

What if we observe how numbers resist factorization, not just whether they factor?

🧠 Beyond “Is It Divisible?”

Classical number theory asks:

Is n divisible by some d?

Structural Primality asks:

How close does n come to closing under divisibility — and how does that resistance behave?

Instead of treating primality as a silent outcome, Structural Primality treats it as a measurable structural phenomenon.

The result is not a new definition of primes —
but a new layer of observability around them.

📐 The Rule Is Strictly Classical

Structural Primality does not relax mathematics.

For every integer n >= 2, divisors are tested exactly in the classical bounded range:

2 <= d <= floor(sqrt(n))

If any d satisfies:

n mod d = 0

→ the number is composite.

If no such d exists:

→ the number is a STRUCTURAL_PRIME.

This preserves exact classical correctness:

• every classical prime remains prime
• no composite is misclassified
• no approximation is introduced

The difference is not correctness — it is visibility.

🔍 What Structural Primality Actually Records

Structural Primality does not stop at PASS / FAIL.

For every integer, it records a structural footprint.

For composite numbers:

• closure_d — the smallest divisor that causes closure

For all numbers (prime or composite):

• closest_d — the nearest divisor candidate

• closest_band — a discretized proximity band (A to F)

These bands describe how near a number is to factorization, even when no factor exists.

Primes are no longer silent.
They exhibit resistance patterns.

📌 Signature-Based vs Exact Proximity

By default, Structural Primality measures proximity using a configurable signature set of small primes (default <= 101).

This is intentional.

It reveals persistent pressure from foundational divisors — the primes that dominate arithmetic structure.

For exact minimal proximity across all d <= floor(sqrt(n)), Structural Primality supports:

--full_closest

This performs a full bounded scan.

Slower — but exact.

Both modes are deterministic.
Both are auditable.
Both preserve correctness.

🧪 What You Can Run (Immediately)

Structural Primality is not a paper exercise.

It produces:

• row-level structural records for every integer
• deterministic summary statistics
• reproducible plots
• finite, enumerable outputs

The same inputs always produce the same results.

No randomness.
No heuristics.
No learning loops.

This is an audit, not an inference.

📊 What the Results Reveal

When evaluated over large ranges (e.g., n <= 100,000):

• classical prime counts match exactly
• closure depth is highly non-uniform
• small divisors dominate closure behavior
• primes cluster in specific structural bands
• resistance to factorization is structured, not random

The key insight:

Primality is not just absence of divisibility.
It is structured resistance to closure.

✨ Why This Matters

Structural Primality does not replace number theory.

It adds something number theory does not record:

• how close numbers come to breaking
• where divisibility pressure accumulates
• how primes differ structurally, not just positionally

This opens new ways to:

• teach primality with intuition
• analyze integer structure deterministically
• debug arithmetic assumptions
• compare number ranges structurally

All without approximation.
All without speculation.

🧭 Observability, Not Optimisation

Structural Primality does not:

• predict primes
• accelerate factorization
• claim cryptographic strength
• replace existing theory

It provides observability only.

All interpretation lives above the result.
The arithmetic remains untouched.
