Emergent Scale-Dependent Geometry from a Fractal Prime Network

This preprint presents a discrete arithmetic network of 360 000 primes with a modulo-15 edge rule. Distance is the shortest-path length. The network dimension from the scaling of N(ℓ) is non-integer and scale-dependent (1.76 / 1.34 / 1.13). The same points form a continuous spiral with box-counting dimension ≈ 1.13. The function π_eff(r) is an analytical construction satisfying π_eff(0) = 1 and π_eff → π. Circular velocity from mass proportional to N(ℓ) has near-zero slope. Comparison with 143 SPARC galaxies shows better shape agreement for slower galaxies. The density proxy has a slope of the same order as the NFW shape. The work states explicitly which structures are measurements and which are constructions. Code, figures and data are included.

Abstract

This preprint presents a discrete arithmetic network of 360 000 primes with a modulo-15 edge rule. Distance is the shortest-path length. The network dimension from the scaling of N(ℓ) is non-integer and scale-dependent (1.76 / 1.34 / 1.13). The same points form a continuous spiral with box-counting dimension ≈ 1.13. The function π_eff(r) is an analytical construction satisfying π_eff(0) = 1 and π_eff → π. Circular velocity from mass proportional to N(ℓ) has near-zero slope. Comparison with 143 SPARC galaxies shows better shape agreement for slower galaxies. The density proxy has a slope of the same order as the NFW shape. The work states explicitly which structures are measurements and which are constructions. Code, figures and data are included.
