::I'll take that as a yes. I have modified the task to require EKG(9) and EKG(10). If ekg(0)=1 and ekg(1)=N then if N is prime ekg(2)=2N. If N is composite ekg(2)=smallest prime factor of N. As none of the code on the task page attempts to factorize N, I think all the solutions will be wrong. This divergence/convergence is illusionary. OK the video draws a nice chart and compares it to the tree of life, but this just goes to prove that people should need a license to use PowerPoint, and similar. It says nothing about the relationship of N1 and N2. More interesting would be to find how out of kilter ekg(N) is with ekg(2). That is how many transpositions are needed to convert ekg(2) to ekg(N). I think this would partition the natural numbers into a small number of sets. --[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 17:41, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
