I've been playing with geometric factoring and observed something of interest.

[blah blah blah]

Geometricaly then we can break a line into n divisions. Then take n-2 lines
of divisions between 2 and n-1. By comparison of the n-1 lines a number is
prime if no smaller divisioned line has all its division markers shared with
n.

[blah blah blah]

It occurs to me just now that it might be possible to do this with a
Foucalt's Dust algorithm somehow as well.
