The generator point that creates all keys in elliptic curve is a prime boundary of the field. That’s a direct association.

Worse though, the security policy of RSA keys which protect servers that protect keys, etc are all semi primes. Which is just the multiplication of two prime numbers.

There’s no cryptography that exists (that’s usable) that doesn’t involve prime numbers.

Keeping secrets is nowhere in nature, it’s likely a temporary privilege we accessed as a civilization, but in a larger cohesive system of energy (the universe) it’s likely we have little say against nature.

So we have sort of been raw dogging primes and using them everywhere but they’re less like little bricks that secure the building and more like ticking explosive bricks. The explosion goes off when someone figures out what others haven’t yet.

Everything breaks eventually against nature, and now we have a large enough motivation, we start to see how loyal hungry dogs really are. Meaning, people are struggling and a maths puzzle vs 8B motivated people remaining unsolved is VERY different to a maths puzzle vs 400 individuals with closed minds and maths niche focus.

Once the problem looks like a global lotto ticket, I give it less than 7 days for a civilian to crack on a laptop or iPhone. The solution will be elegant and fresh (like horse and cart evolving to engine).

It’s super serious.
