I am trying to rigorously prove / disprove the following lemma, (as labelled $((0.1),(1.1),(1.2))$)
EDIT: 10/10/2018:
The two primary points of concern remaining are:
1) The complete set of factors for the denominator of the expression inside the fractional part brackets of $(1.2)$ and $(2.2)$
2) Most importantly, if any of what I have stated here is to be true, there must be a true statement regarding the number of prime numbers that exist between $pi(n)+1$ and $pi(n+1)$ that exists. I haven't been able to work out how to state this, but the assurance it must exist would be a requisite of any of the piece wise evaluations that assert the primality of $n+1$. It will probably be so elementary it's embarrassing.

So far the current draft of the considerations leading to (0.1),(1.1)&(1.2):
Legendre's formula for the p-adic valuation of the factorial of $n$:
$$nu_{{p}} left( n right) =sum _{j=1}^{ lfloor {frac {
ln n }{ln left( p right) }} rfloor +1} Bigllfloor {frac {n}{{p}^{j}}} Bigrrfloorquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquad(operatorname{i})$$

An identity for the natural logarithm of the factorial of the nearest integer to $x$ in terms of the first Chebyshev function (used in the first line for the proof of Bertrand's Postulate):
$$ln ( [x] ! ) =sum _{k=1}^{pi ( lfloor x rfloor ) }psi Bigl( {frac {x}{k}}
Bigr)
quadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquadquad(operatorname{iv}) $$
$pi(x)$ is the number of prime numbers less than or equal to $x$.
${{x}}$ is the fractional part of $x$.
Collectively the four above lemmas imply the identity:
$$sum _{i=1}^{pi (n ) } sum _{j=1}^{ {bigllfloorfrac {ln ( n ) }{ln ( p_{{i}} ) }}bigrrfloor +1} Bigllfloor {frac {n}{{p_{{i}}}^{j}}} Bigrrfloor ln ( p_{{i}}) -sum _{i=1}^{n-1} sum _{j=1}^{pi ( {lfloorfrac {n}{i}} rfloor ) } Bigllfloorfrac{ ln ( {frac {n}{i}} ) }{ ln

is this a question?

Well yes of course it is, If I simply state what I am attempting, everybody complains that I need to demonstrate that I have made an attempt before posting, so I posted what I had done at the time I made the question
– Adam
Oct 5 at 1:05
I will admit that since then I have near on almost provided a rigorous enough proof, but there are still holes in it otherwise I would feel comfortable looking at it
– Adam
Oct 5 at 1:06
Ah for example, the denominators of $(1.2)$ and $(2.2)$ are not the maximal value that will adhere to the divisibility condition, they are only factors of it, there is a big hole right there that needs a plug

Editing a question bumps it, which is a problem when the number of edits is that large. I recommend you use the sandbox at: math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4666/…

I am trying to rigorously prove / disprove the following lemma, (as labelled $((0.1),(1.1),(1.2))$)
EDIT: 10/10/2018:
The two primary points of concern remaining are:
1) The complete set of factors for the denominator of the expression inside the fractional part brackets of $(1.2)$ and $(2.2)$
2) Most importantly, if any of what I have stated here is to be true, there must be a true statement regarding the number of prime numbers that exist between $pi(n)+1$ and $pi(n+1)$ that exists. I haven't been able to work out how to state this, but the assurance it must exist would be a requisite of any of the piece wise evaluations that assert the primality of $n+1$. It will probably be so elementary it's embarrassing.

I will admit that since then I have near on almost provided a rigorous enough proof, but there are still holes in it otherwise I would feel comfortable looking at it

Ah for example, the denominators of $(1.2)$ and $(2.2)$ are not the maximal value that will adhere to the divisibility condition, they are only factors of it, there is a big hole right there that needs a plug

Editing a question bumps it, which is a problem when the number of edits is that large. I recommend you use the sandbox at: math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4666/…

Ah for example, the denominators of $(1.2)$ and $(2.2)$ are not the maximal value that will adhere to the divisibility condition, they are only factors of it, there is a big hole right there that needs a plug
