The first part, about the #PrimeClockMethod is my favorite part and also the simplest one. This part feels like reading an introduction giving us a uncanny paranoiac feeling of doom about the hard thinking to come. Except that contrary to what our instinct is screaming to us, it never come, and the ease of reading and comprehension is maintained trough the paper while still achieving to give us wonderful insight. 👏👏👏

The structure is a well crafted continuous narrative (can be read linearly) that alternate between showing us a good idea/point_of_view, and then exposing us the next piece of problem so straight forwardly that we can try to solve it like if it was a puzzle. Making us feel smart because we manage to find the solution that is just afterwards explained/confirmed.
(a case of "defining the problem the right way is the biggest part of the problem", but then, the reader is allowed the joy of doing the final symbolic act, akin to parents doing everything but nonetheless letting the child do the final act autonomously and without hints because the final thing to do is already setup to be self-evident but this doesn't remove the joy and feeling of accomplish of doing so xD)

That first part is only 3 pages long, so even if you don't wanna read the second part about the #TwinPrimeConjecture, I encourage you to read those few pages. It will leave you a long and profound impression effortlessly, I can tell you, I'm still thinking about it 1 month after reading it, and I only read it once.
(😳 and by saying this, my vice of being paralyzed unable to reviewing this paper for almost 1 month can finally become a virtue of a justified laps of time to prove that it has left me a long lasting impact)

My background for this review: a layman person without any #degree, with very weak #Math interest (I knew what were prime numbers but never heard of the twin prime conjecture) and lack of math background except for what is taught in high school and the occasional math that pop here and there from my adjacent interests in the process of thinking of process both formal and informally (mainly from #lisp lore for the #ComputerScience side and #Hegel lore for the #Philosophy side of the story)

And now, only after almost 1 month since I have read it, will I review this paper (flushed face 😳).

A paper of 10 pages of content.
The paper is very pleasant and simple to read. Managing to catch our attention and make us read it in one sitting with a child-like excitement and joy. So if you have tendencies to leave things half-done, do not fear, you will get drawn into finishing it without having to fight a moment of boringness.
