primes in pi: 1, 2, 6, 38, 16208, 47577, 78073, ...

[Jonathan Post]

Okay then Frank, your way (which is naturally natural) gives the sequence of
primes 3, 23, what's next?


from Ceiling(substrings of pi base e)



1 = 1*e^0 = 1



10 = 1*e^1 + -*e^0 = e represents 3 (which is prime)



101 = e^2+1 = 8.389... represents the number 9.



1010 ceil(22.803) = 23 (which is prime)



10101 gives 63 = 1*(e^4) + 0*(e^3) + 1*(e^2) + 0*(e^1) + 1 = 62.9872061

composite



101010 gives 172 = 1*(e^5) + 0*(e^4) + 1*(e^3) + 0*(e^2) + 1*(e^1) + 0*(e^0)
= ceil(171.216978) composite**



then 1010100 gives 466 = ceil(*465.41600) *



then 10101002 gives 1268 composite



then 101010020 gives 3445 composite



then 1010100200 gives 9363 composite



What are the next few primes?  Is this an interesting sequence that you have
guided me to, as potential co-author?



My wife advises that Southern California Edison has restored power to our
home, roughly 72 hours since we lost it, so I'll be heading home now.



Best,
