Abstract

Hello,I present a theoretical framework connecting the spectral properties of prime numbers to fundamental geometric structures in nature. Starting from a mirror wave function ψp(x) = χ(p)ei·2πp−1x/q whose discrete Fourier transform exhibits perfect localization at k ≡ p−1 (mod q), we demonstrate that the multifractal set Fq of these spectral peaks possesses an intrinsic helical geometry with fractal dimension Dχ(q) ≈ 0.4 − 0.7. I hypothesize that this mathematical structure, emerging from the fundamental properties of prime numbers, provides a universal blueprint that physical systems naturally adopt when subjected to quantum resonance conditions and thermodynamic constraints. As a primary test case, we analyze the double helix structure of DNA, showing remarkable correspondence between predicted and observed geometric parameters: helical pitch, base-pair motif lengths following prime numbers (3, 5, 7, 11), and fractal dimension D ≈ 0.58.Our framework suggests that the helical structure of life is not a biological accident but a mathematical necessity—implying that any complex self-organizing system in the universe, under similar physical constraints, would converge to this same geometric template. We present rigorous mathematical foundations, numerical simulations, and testable predictions for experimental validation.Keywords: Prime numbers, spectral localization, multifractal analysis, DNA structure, quantum resonance, universal geometry, origin of life....!Cordialy
