@williaum: I agree. I'll get to work on that. Thanks for the compliment, and the rating... I guess.
• I sometimes get referred to as will.i.30 (so 30/10)
• ૐ is symbolic of the sound/vibration/energy/consciousness of all manifest reality (so > ∞/10)
• You play your own hyperbolic rating game for humor, praise, meta-commentary on rating systems, and other inherent mind-bending qualities (e.g. “93046571834576134905618394561039468913745893475198370459138467/10, as usual”)
There are less coherent meanings folded into my irreverent reverie, but I will leave you with these to ponder. :)
In its three-, five-, and seven-fold sense, A-U-M-_ may indeed be seen as prime. Zero and one, though, are perhaps closer analogs, neither prime nor composite.
Is it a “prime directive”? Why, Yes! :)
In Mayan cosmology, twelve is supposed to be all things we can see [related? There is a fifth figure (which is made out of twelve pentagons), the dodecahedron—this God used as a model for the twelvefold division of the Zodiac. —Plato], and the thirteenth is something, uncalculated, unknown, unmeasurable, unbuyable, unsellable, that can’t be killed so it’s called the thirteenth. So we say ‘Thirteen thankyous’ to make sure everything got some gratitude. —Martín Prechtel
I get it now. I didn't before, I just thought it was a little play on your name. Either way, I found it fascinating. But some of it I do not understand... I'll just have to put my puny brain to work... get these rusty gears a-turnin'.

I apologize for my careless question you couldn't possibly answer unless you had a super computer the size of a fridge. In the meantime I've learned about prime numbers more than I ever wanted to know. Did you know, you can actually patent very large numbers, usually primes, and there are million dollar prizes for them. Large corporation, banks use those numbers for Public Key Cryptography.
It might not have helped much to say this, as I already humorously misunderstood your question. Didn’t you want to know the primality of ૐ. I like that question. What a delightful and unexpected paradox to ponder; you know how much I love thinking inside the paradox!
The number I quoted above was the rating xenophilius recently gave in response to my Djangogh. I think we can safely assume it is an uncalculated, if not random, string.
And, please, no apologies necessary (except from me for how I appropriated Plato and Martín’s words!) I can answer your question directly: the number is not prime. My certainty is neither a gamble nor otherwise probabilistic. Can you tell me how I arrived at such a definite conclusion?
Previously, I was aware of the unclaimed $250,000 prize from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for identifying the first billion+ digit prime. Tell me more. Large (and small) primes have always held a preeminent mystique, and more recently we have discovered some ways to bend them to our will – mostly due to their inscrutability! I did enjoy very much reading about large primes, and other exotic sequences, as a child. Still do!
Finally, I must add that the idea of a human or corporation owning a number is only slightly less reprehensible to me than the idea of any of us owning a genome. Truly, if there’s any truth to it, it is the other way around and we belong to them. Call me platonic! I say the conscious potential exists before any of us arrive on the scene to mess things building pyramids about playing king of the hill! ;)
More about large prime numbers. I think, my information is antiquated: I lost count at 4 million digit primes. So they raised the bar to 1 billion digits?
Unbelievable. How could anyone handle such a large number? Say, you've found one, and you would like to submit your claim / application to the US. Patent and Trademark Office. How could you do that?
Printed on paper. Average 8x10 paper, 12pt Roman font, single spaced page could have up to 4000 characters. The whole number would fill 250,000 pages, or 250 hefty tomes 1000 pages each. No chance.
Go digital. I'm not sure you could fit that much data on a DVD-R. However, you could put it on a multi gigabyte memory card or USB pendrive. The question remains: how could you possibly display 250000 pages of data?
I agree with you: it is unacceptable that individuals or corporations could patent and own such things as numbers or (human) genes, regardless how much they've invested in related research. My point is, that one can't invent something that was always there, one can only discover it. Numbers are essential part of nature. Not just the positive integers, but special numbers, such as Pi and Phi, too. The US. patent system is more than controversial to accept patent claims with zero inventive element.
I love this font ;)
