10.- Brief and naive summary.

(i) We have identified natural numbers and points of a line.
0 -> Point P_0, 1 -> Point P_1 , ..., n -> Point P_n, ...
(ii) With a fixed scale so that every real number corresponds to a unique point on the line (real line) we have a "name" for every natural number, for example:
0-> 0, 1 -> 0'31, 2 -> pi, 3-> 4'2, ...
(iii) We have created on { P_n : n e N } an algebraic structure isomorphic to the usual one ( N, +, * ). (i.e. we have transported the arithmetic )
(iv) We have deformed the first quadrant of the xy plane, so that we can identify prime numbers by means of vortex points.
(v) In a natural way we can identify natural numbers and deformed hyperbolas.
(vi) The deformed hyperbola associated to the natural number n contains all the information about the fact of being prime via the continuum ( i.e. behaviour of deformed hyperbolas close to the mentioned one)
(vii) We' ll see that adequate placements of natural numbers on the real line (in the bi dimensional sense mentioned in (vi) ) provide relevant information about natural numbers.
