The first twin primes is 3, 5 The first quad primes (n+4) is 3, 7 The first (n + 6) primes is 5, 11 The first (n +8) primes is 3, 11 etc etc And so it matters not, how large the N+2k becomes, because the square- root patch on the last prime in the successive prime list captures all the primes of that succession, that finite succession, for example, doing the N +6 primes proof would go like this: Proof of the Infinitude of N+6 Primes: (1) Definition of prime (2) Hypothetical Assumption, suppose set of all N+6 Primes is finite with 5,11 being the last two N+6 primes of the sequence set S = 5, 7, 11 where 11 is the last and largest of the N+6 primes. Note we have to eliminate 3 from the S succession list the prime factors of the 6/2 in N+6 so we delete 3. (3) Multiply the lot and add 3 and subtract 3, yielding W+3 = (2x5x7x11) +3 = 773 and W-3 = (2x5x7x11) -3 = 767 (4) Take the square root of W+3 and I get 27.8.... I do not need square root of W-3, and there cannot be any regular primes for consideration of being a prime factor of this S secession that is greater than 27 (5) Successively divide all the primes in the sequence S into W+3 and W-3 and they all leave a remainder but I also need to consider primes from 11 out to 27 and they are 13, 17, 19, and 23 And this is where I may get into new trouble, in that I cannot eliminate them and that the method would then only be a proof of the Infinitude of Twin Primes and that the proof of N +2k Primes has to await another method. And the only reason that Twin Primes is amenable to this method is because of the separation of just 2 So it is an open question at this moment whether the method is restricted to a proof of Twin Primes but no larger N+2k primes.
