Abstract

This work presents an exploratory investigation of the COMP (geometric complement) operator within the framework of the Geometric Composition Algebra (GCA). A spectral statistical invariant, defined as an averaged ratio of geometric norms after application of COMP to all configurations associated with an integer, is introduced and studied. Extensive numerical experiments reveal a robust statistical separation between prime and composite integers, without relying on explicit factorization. Although this invariant does not constitute a primality test, it highlights a persistent geometric signature correlated with multiplicative structure. A theoretical explanation of this phenomenon is currently under development.
