I think that "but why?" is the question of the true scientist and
that's where things get interesting.

But why?

So you can ask, why would primes care what residue they have modulo
some other prime?

How could primes care? They are numbers. They have no feelings. Do you talk
to your numbers?


If they do not, then residues of one prime modulo another behave
randomly.

wrong.


If so, then EVERY random sequence of two elements only can be
represented as being somewhere on the line of p mod 3.

wrong


So if you flip a coin for a while you can get some computer to do a
search and if it's not too far out, you'll find that sequence of flips
in the sequence of p mod 3.

wrong.


Or, there is an underlying pattern where some prime like 37 PREFERS to
have a residue of 1 modulo 3, and if you can figure out that
underlying pattern you can get some sense of some special rules that
govern primes, but, composites are products of primes! So they'd
reflect that pattern, right?

Wrong


I am not the first person to suggest randomness in this area.

you do not understand "randomness"


I suspect mathematicians have demonized the others who have.

You are a Paranoid.


Why?

yer mama tried to give you away in a bottle.


Because if p mod 3 is random,

It is not.


as in, there is no rhyme nor reason to
why any particular prime has 1 or 2 as its residue modulo 3 than it
just does, then huge areas of funding in the math field collapse.

Your lack of knowledge has no impact of funding in the real world.


Quite simply, math people no longer get paid in those areas, and
mathematicians who specialize in those areas would have to find
somewhere else to do research!

Lies, you do not know any of this, you are making it up.


But what if p mod 3 IS random?

It is not.


Then you would know that ANY random
behavior in our real world would have to be represented within the
infinite sequence of primes modulo some other prime, and that bit of
"pure math" would have real world application in physics!

wrong, and your logic is wrong.
