%N Prime number spiral (clockwise, North spoke).

%C Smallest prime in n-th shell of prime spiral.

%C 8-spoke wheel overlays prime number spiral; hub is 2 in shell 0; 8 spokes radiate from this hub; this is North, clockwise.

%C Shell 1 comprises the primes 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23; 3 is lowest, 23 is highest.

%C The wheel may be rotated, but the sequences though pointing in different directions, will remain the same.
