The determination as to what numbers are prime numbers depends on the definition of prime numbers.
The conventional definition of prime numbers is contrived as it is the result of the combination of several sets that can be considered as unrelated, which creates the problems of analysis that exists.
I consider that:
Mathematics does not
explain Nature;
Nature explains
mathematics.
All mathematics is a function of Nature;
thus, its sublime poetry . . .
Thus, minus one cannot be a prime as Nature does not recognize negative numbers, as there is no "up" or "down" in the Cosmos. The closest that Nature comes to such recognition is the relative difference between the crest and trough of a wave.
Natural prime numbers are uniform in their distribution; that is, they can be mapped with a simple algebraic function, to the sequence of Natural integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Natural prime numbers are generated by the hypotenuse of any ellipse, relative to the integer value of the perigee.
