Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how prime numbers and their factorization influence growth directions in a tree structure.
  • Constructed a tree from natural numbers where primes form the trunk and composites branch by factorization.
  • Analyzed the coupling constant's effect on the spiral direction and growth rate.
  • Investigated the relationship between lobes of RAS boundaries and prime-composite separation.
  • The trunk spirals with any non-zero coupling, directing structure based on RAS shapes.
  • Separation of primes from composites verified with p = 3×10⁻¹¹, independent of symmetry folds.
  • Mean branch spacing converges to 45°, reflecting mod 24 prime wheel dynamics.

Abstract

We construct a tree from the natural numbers in which primes form a rigid trunk and composites branch according to their factorisation. The branching geometry is determined entirely by the Rational Algebraic Superformula (RAS) — no angular system or coordinate frame is imposed. We show three results: (1) the trunk invariably spirals whenever any non-zero coupling exists between a node's RAS shape and the growth direction, with the spiral direction structurally determined and the rate parameterised by the coupling constant; (2) the lobe depth of RAS boundaries separates primes from composites with p = 3×10⁻¹¹, and this separation is independent of the symmetry fold — it derives purely from sopfr(n) and Ω(n); (3) the mean branch spacing converges to 45° = 360°/φ(24), expressing the mod 24 prime wheel octave rather than the golden angle. We interpret the coupling constant as the degree of self-determination of the set, propose a mapping between prime factorisation patterns and plant morphological types (natural biofication), and note that the resulting framework was encoded in pre-literate mythology (Yggdrasil, the World Tree).
