And working on that "reasoning" to be sure. I have never had the need
or call to
readapt the Euclid Number so that it is a exponential number. So that
Euclid's
Number is different from "multiply the lot and subtract 1" What if I
adapted
Euclid's Number as that of multiply the lot and stick that lot into an
exponent for
the 2 in ( 2^p) and then subtract or add 1

Mersenne primes infinitude are a challenge in readapting the Euclid
Number for the
Indirect Proof Method. Up till now, I could get away with simply
adding and subtracting
from a multiplied lot. Here I am challenged to use an exponent.
