The Erdős-Kac Theorem relates to the distribution of the
(distinct) prime factors of a number demonstrating that it approaches a perfect
normal distribution when the relevant numbers (to which the prime factors
relate) are sufficiently large.
So for example if we were in the region of the number system
where n > 1020 and were to take in this vicinity a significant
sampling of numbers we would find that the number of (distinct) prime factors
would vary considerably with the majority close to a central value with higher
and lower recorded values symmetrically distributed around the central value in
accordance with the normal distribution.
We would equally expect the distribution of H’s with
respect to similar sized samples, relating to the tossing of an unbiased coin, to
be likewise normally distributed thereby indicating the random nature of the
trials involved.
So likewise the Erdős-Kac Theorem demonstrates the
random nature with respect to the occurrence
of the distinct prime factors of a number.
However there is also the more familiar way in which
we speak about the randomness of the primes which relates to the distribution of
the (individual) primes with respect to the overall natural number system.
Thus when we look at these two aspects of prime
randomness in the appropriate dynamic interactive manner, we realise that they
represent complementary aspects of prime behaviour (with respect to the natural
numbers).
So the familiar Type 1 notion entails the (individual)
primes in the context of the (collective) natural number system.
However the alternative Type 2 notion entails the
complementary notion of a (collective) group of prime factors in the context of
a related (individual) natural number.
Also the Type 1 notion entails viewing the primes as
base quantities. In relative terms the Type 2 notion relates to the dimensional
qualitative aspect of these numbers (as factors).
Notice also how the relationship as between the primes
and natural numbers is inverted as we switch from the Type 1 to Type 2 definition! In Type 1 terms the (collective) natural number system is understood in terms
of its (individual) prime constituents. In Type 2 terms the primes as a (collective)
group of factors are understood in terms of each (individual) natural number!
Thus in truth the relationship the two-way
relationship as between the primes and the natural numbers is of a dynamic interactive
nature, entailing the complementarity of these two opposite polarities.
Now we have that the notion of randomness itself can
only be properly appreciated in a dynamic interactive context where it always
implies the opposite notion of order.
Therefore the Type 1 and Type 2 aspects of the primes intimately
depend on each other in a holistic synchronous manner.
Now whereas the (Type 1) individual primes are random,
we also have the opposite demonstrated characteristic of their overall
collective order with respect to the natural numbers (when taken as an entire
group) as for example expressed through the prime number theorem.
Likewise whereas the (Type 2) collection of primes is
random, we also have the opposite characteristic of individual order
(indirectly expressed through the prime roots of 1, where all roots other than
1 are uniquely determined).
Therefore we can validly say that the random nature of
the primes in Type 1 terms is intimately related to their corresponding ordered
nature in a Type 2 manner; likewise the random nature of the primes in Type 2
terms is intimately related to their corresponding ordered nature in Type 1
fashion.
Thus we can now state this remarkable overriding fact regarding
the nature of the number system, which contains the seeds to not only
dramatically revolutionise our very appreciation of the nature of Mathematics
but likewise all of its related sciences.
And this fact simply relates to the clear recognition
of the inherently dynamic nature of the number system with
its underlying holistic synchronous basis.
