prime numbers as they relate to the y-length of a logspiral (page 2)


OB = 1

The whole numbers being conceived as representing units of length on the line L, then the equalities below are virtually correct for extremely large values of L.

The x-length and y-length values are those of the log spiral,
measured relative to O.

n/#primes = L/#primes

ln n = L/#primes

L/#primes = (a)π/2

#primes = 2L/π(a)

(a) being x-length/y-length, then

#primes = 2L/π(x-length/y-length)

#primes = 2(L)y-length/(π)x-length

L being extremely large, then L and x-length could be considered equal, and cancel out of the equation.

#primes = 2(y-length)/π

As the value of (a) in the equation of the log spiral increases, L approaches being an infinitely large number, and the value of θ approaches π/2. It should be noted however, how slowly the value of (a) increases relative to L. When L is 10 billion, the value of (a) in the equation of the corresponding spiral is 14.658.

The y-length in the equation is defined as being the perpendicular distance of the log spiral relative to O, from B to A. Considering the extreme length of L, the y-length could reasonably be conceived as being taken from A to the origin at O, the y-length from O to B, relative to O, being negligible.
