This isn;t just pretty patterns, there are two interesting opposite implications here. Either a pattern to prime numbers wil emerge, or it will be totally random. If there's a pattern, prime numbers may become predictable, underminging e.g. coding applications. if random, then with sufficiently large patterns, a 2-d image of every conceivable (and inconceivable) object in the universe must eventually emerge.
