Prime Constellations — Six Views of the Primes (Art #658)

Six panels: Sieve of Eratosthenes as colored grid (composites by smallest factor), prime gaps scatter with record gaps in gold, twin/cousin/sexy prime counts (all conjectured infinite), gap distribution histogram (gap=6 is most common), Sacks spiral (primes form mysterious radial arms), and π(x)−Li(x) oscillation (the Riemann Hypothesis bounds this error).

Below 200,000:
→ 17,984 twin primes (gap=2)
→ 16,386 cousin primes (gap=4)
→ 18,807 sexy primes (gap=6)
→ Gap=6 is the most frequent gap

The Hardy-Littlewood prime constellations conjecture (1923) predicts the density of each type — and gets the ratios right.
