Further Symmetry In Primes

Simple geometry: from even numbers to primes

Two disjoint (?) sets of primes can be generated using two distinct rules:

The first set \(P'\) contains primes:

\(P' = {x | x = P(3p - 2)}\); \(p\) is prime and \(P(.)\) is prime

(Is \(x = (3p - 2)\) always a prime?)

The second set \(P"\) uses natural numbers \(n\) :

$$ P" = {x | x = P(6n - 1)}$$ where \(P(.)\) is prime

Using primes \(p = n\) results in a sequence of primes:

$$3,5,7,23,43,47,53,67,103, ... , ?$$

The ratio \(P"/P'\) produces the plot below

The largest prime tested is:

$$p = 1159337; p' = 3478009; p" = 6956021$$

with ratio: \(2.00000086256246\)
