... one of - if not the most famous proof in all of mathematics - admired for its elegance - simplicity and profundity is Euclid's Proof of Infinite Primes - mathematical rigor currently enjoys an unprecedented historical resurgence over its long history - yet to this author - it seems the strength of the deep-learned analysis and logical arguments used in ancient Greek proof somehow remains missing in contemporary mathematics - to address this - the author does not follow conventional research protocol and abandons research into all prior knowledge on the elusive proof of the long-standing Twin Prime Conjecture - rather - a rare summit attempt is made from first principals alone - equipped with little more than the definition of a twin prime - this Canadian mathematician begins a six year mathematical solo research expedition into unravelling the chaos that is the twin primes - always in search of patterns - the nature of the of twin primes has led several mathematicians to conclude that the exhibited random pattern is chaotic - no discernible pattern exists - under such conditions we cannot predict anything about how twin primes behave nor attempt to count them over increasingly large - infinite domains - lacking a proof akin to Euclid's - that outcome places twin primes outside the harmonious mathematics of the ancient Greeks - a world that we mathematicians have always sought to retain - such incongruity and disharmony is jarring and harsh for any mathematician to accept - after undergoing my transformation into a mathematical alpinist - the expedition strategy was to focus not on the (twin) primes but rather their theoretical complement - the odd composites - it was conjectured by the author that a deeper understanding of these simplistic mathematical entities would indirectly reveal how twin primes are constructed - to summit one of the highest unclimbed mathematical peaks - required new innovative techniques - bold daring thoughts and inexhaustible patience and persistence - if you continue to climb and gain altitude you must - eventually - reach the summit - one painful step at a time - lastly - having reached the summit - by far the most daunting task was to collate and present the argument in such a manner that others would not only understand it but be convinced of the result in the same manner that those who read Euclid's proof are - with elegance - simplicity and profundity ...
