Numerical Implementation of Plichta's Prime Number Cross within the Universal Model Framework

Peter Plichta’s Prime Number Cross (PNC) arranges primes on the four rays 6n ± 1 and maps them, via Euler’s discrete quarter-turn eiπ/2 , onto a unit-disc “cross” {±1, ±i}. In the Universal Model Framework (UMF) the PNC is embedded in a Planck-scale Sierpi´nski lattice that serves as spacetime’s arithmetic substrate. Here we supply the first vectorised NumPy/SciPy implementation of (i) Euler-cross quadrature loops, (ii) prime-to-complex mapping, (iii) path-length comparison between the discrete square Ldisc and the continuous half-circle Lcont = πr, and (iv) closure tests on Sierpi´nski-masked lattices. For shells r ≤ 150 we find Ldisc = 4√ 2 r with systematic relative error ε = (4√ 2 − π)/π ≈ 0.800%. The loop remains closed after 97.6% of random Sierpi´nski masks, confirming robustness of prime-fractal geodesy. These findings strengthen the UMF claim that spacetime geodesics are prime-modulated and provide an open-source Python toolkit for further exploration. This project was developed by Marco Gericke, with structured assistance from a large language model. All scientific concepts and conclusions were generated, verified, and interpreted by the author. Dedicated to Peter Plichta, who envisioned the code before it could be computed.

Abstract

Peter Plichta’s Prime Number Cross (PNC) arranges primes on the four rays 6n ± 1 and maps them, via Euler’s discrete quarter-turn eiπ/2 , onto a unit-disc “cross” {±1, ±i}. In the Universal Model Framework (UMF) the PNC is embedded in a Planck-scale Sierpi´nski lattice that serves as spacetime’s arithmetic substrate. Here we supply the first vectorised NumPy/SciPy implementation of (i) Euler-cross quadrature loops, (ii) prime-to-complex mapping, (iii) path-length comparison between the discrete square Ldisc and the continuous half-circle Lcont = πr, and (iv) closure tests on Sierpi´nski-masked lattices. For shells r ≤ 150 we find Ldisc = 4√ 2 r with systematic relative error ε = (4√ 2 − π)/π ≈ 0.800%. The loop remains closed after 97.6% of random Sierpi´nski masks, confirming robustness of prime-fractal geodesy. These findings strengthen the UMF claim that spacetime geodesics are prime-modulated and provide an open-source Python toolkit for further exploration. This project was developed by Marco Gericke, with structured assistance from a large language model. All scientific concepts and conclusions were generated, verified, and interpreted by the author. Dedicated to Peter Plichta, who envisioned the code before it could be computed.
