An online mathematics project is assigning a SHA-256 hash to each of 5,000 integer sequences decomposed into a unique weight × level + jump form, verifying the decomposition at every deployment. Primes are among the sequences given cryptographic fingerprints, with Claude assisting in generating and checking the hashes, a hybrid of number theory and software integrity practice.
