Re: JSH: Math journals do not just die



If p mod 3 is not random, then what are the rules?

What rules beyond 50% probability can you give?

if p mod 3 is 1 then (p+1) mod 3 is more likely to be 2 than 1.
if p mod 3 is 2 then (p+1) mod 3 is more likely to be 1 than 2.

What REASON can you give for the numbers to behave in some specific
way?

*I* don't have to unlock the entire mystery of prime numbers, settle
the RH, etc in order to settle the question of whether p mod 3
generates a pseudo-random sequence. Taking your advice, I can just look
at the evidence. It does not generate a pseudo-random sequence.

Stock prices are not pseudorandom either, but I don't know EXACTLY how
to predict them.
