there's the rub. "JSH is the world's greatest living mathematician" AT WHAT
?

Axiom 1 is interpertaive, depending upon what "greatest" means or applies
to.


JSH is the world's greatest living mathematician in his own mind.

JSH is the world's greatest living mathematician that has only published
once, sort of.

JSH is the world's greatest living mathematician who is unable to prove it.


JSH is the world's greatest living mathematician hated by all other
mathematicians.


Since Axiom 1 above can be interperted, it cannot be true, therefore it is a
self-disproving Axiom.
Just like JSH's posts, the are self disproving

First up apologies; I did not get the full meaning of your reference
to Dirichlet's Theorem; I think I have a better grasp of what you
mean.

Secondly the probability function is (as I suspect you know full well)
a Euler product. My reading continues...

Actually this is all pretty interesting stuff. I had never read past
the basics in the past so it has been a lot of fun. Too bad sci.math
is (sadly) the wrong place to discuss it.

You're so adorable when you use words you don't understand.

You're deluded. Google your try, and then Google: prime residue axiom

Or go to any web search engine. Here it does not have to be Google.

The world listens to me. It does not listen to you.

Doubt me? Try the searches then. I say you're deluded but I wonder
if you'll acknowledge reality or continue to mouth off your defiance
against it.

The latter is a little more interesting.
