Re: Anglion

But this number is a complex. It houses another number which we call prime, or 89. This is the smallest prime number possible from 1573965, its forerunner.

Unfortunately not true. 1573965 factors as 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 89 x 131. 89 is not the "smallest prime number". That is 3.

If this is going to be about "demonstration" rather than "rhetoric" wouldn't it be best to start out by being mathematically accurate in one's statements?
