riemann hypothesis is not really about the structure of primes it is about the auto-spacialization of numbers. its about finding the equivalent of numerical dna for mathematics to become a planar which would result in easy plenary holisms.

Platonist nonsense prevents us from seeing obvious nonsense or truism. Abstract process is not object. Mathematica can do calculus for god's sake. What's the mystery? Poincaré was aware of errors in the these meta-mathematical obsessions.
