The 6k ±1 Composite–Displacement Sieve: A 6–Wheel Eratosthenes Implementation with Least–Prime–Factor Ownership

2026 · HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)

This note gives a conservative Version 2 formulation of the Composite–Displacement, or Greedy–Ast, sieve. The algorithm works inside the classical 6–wheel carrier A6 = {n∈N : n≡±1 (mod 6)}, where every prime greater than 3 …
