Arrow Number Theory New Discoveries

___I intend to self-promote here soon enough, but in the mean time I direct the discussion to number theory discoveries in general. Moreover, I wish to draw attention to the idea that many of the discoveries in Number Theory come from "ameteurs". Maybe a better phrase is 'non-professionals'.
___The distinction I intend here is whether or not an enthusiast of Number Theory makes a living by math or not; whether they have a position or standing in acedemia or not.
___When it happens that a person without standing, without 'hand', makes a discovery in NumberTheory, the struggle to bring said discovery to light is daunting. Firstly, any such discovery which is truly "deep' shall we say, can only be evaluated by equivalently deep minds. Secondly, such deep minds have their own concerns & motivations in regard to their own discoveries & advances & so have a disinclination to affirm the discoveries of others.
___Enter Hypography. Here, anyone may adduce a discovery or idea while circumventing the prejudice of acedameditions in putting forward discoveries to the world at large. That is to say, with Hypography, new discoveries (Number Theory discoveries or otherwise) may forgo the prejudices of acedemia & immediately confront the challenge of sharp minds at large in the World.
___That said, I invite you to comment on your own discoveries or comment on mine.(look for threads started by Turtle in Physiucs & Math)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
