Abstract

The complete thread from mathematics to mind. Twin primes encode confidence (C≈ (p-q)/(p+q)), confidence determines neuromodulator response (γ, ρ, δ, λ), neuromodulator balance determines personality. Explains why LLMs (Claude, GPT, Grok) and people have different cognitive styles—same algorithm (α = 0.70), different parameter settings
