a ratio between integers and primes


Measurements are taken along a straight line BA, which is perpendicular to a unit line OB, as in the previous diagrams. At the scales involved in the equalities below, this unit measurement is insignificant. The measurements are referred to as being taken from O to A.

It should be noted that at the scales imagined, relative to the shape of the circle, the logspiral would be indistinguishable from the straight line OA.


in the diagram,

the y-length of the circular arc OA, relative to O, equals the length of the straight line OA.

As the arc length of the circle increases to a length that could be imagined as approaching infinitely large, the y-length of that circle from O to A, relative to O, could be thought of as representing unit measurements of integers along the straight line from O to A.

Likewise, the y-length of the spiral from O to A, relative to O, multiplied by 2/π represent the number of primes from O to A.

the approximate ratio of

#integers / #primes = y-length (of the circle) / y-length (of the spiral) 2/π


#integers/#primes = (π)y-length (of a circle) / (2)y-length (of a spiral)


The y-length of the arc of the circle, relative to O, being equal to the line OA, then that length multiplied by π/2 represents the arc length of the circle in the diagram.
