The circular pattern for primes is a visual manifestation of the fundamental mathematical property that defines primality. When you can't arrange dots into rectangles, triangles, or other subdivided shapes, you get a circle. This makes the distinction between primes and composites immediately visible.
The diagrams also show that "multiples of primes, such as 46 (2 X 23)" appear as "circles within circles" revealing the underlying prime structure even in composite numbers.
This visualization shows how primes are the building blocks of all numbers... they're the irreducible circular units that combine to form all other numerical structures.

What would happen if we found a pattern to prime numbers ?
