This animation illustrates a deterministic geometric construction generated from the sequence of natural numbers. Each integer contributes one circular arc to a continuous trajectory. Prime numbers rotate the direction by 90° counterclockwise, while composite numbers rotate it by 90° clockwise.

The video shows the construction evolving step by step, making it possible to observe how simple local rules generate increasingly complex global geometric structures.

This visualization is part of the Prime Geometry project, which explores deterministic geometric representations of integer sequences.

Instead of plotting prime numbers on a number line, every processed integer contributes one circular arc to a continuous path.

The construction follows a simple deterministic rule:

  • Prime number → rotate 90° counterclockwise
  • Composite number → rotate 90° clockwise

Although the rule is extremely simple, it produces surprisingly rich geometric patterns as more integers are processed.

The animation shows the construction evolving one integer at a time, allowing the viewer to understand how the global structure emerges from local decisions.

Visualization guide

  • Red point: starting position.
  • Blue square: current endpoint of the construction.
  • Black arcs: arcs generated by prime numbers.
  • Gray arcs: arcs generated by composite numbers.
  • Colored numbers represent the projected prime-number points generated by the algorithm.

This work is intended as an experimental computational visualization for exploring possible geometric structures arising from integer sequences. It does not claim a new theorem, a new primality test, or a proof concerning the distribution of prime numbers.
