Domain-specific

• Cunningham number
  • … 2^p−1 is a minus-family Cunningham number; its primality can occur only under additional restrictions such as prime exponent p. to The Cunningham Project records known factors and cofactors for b^n±1, allowing distributed computations to target unresolved entries without duplicating algebraically inherited work..
• Fermat number
  • … the distinction between constitutive identity and a convenient observable transfers from The first five terms 3, 5, 17, 257, and 65537 are prime, while F_5 is composite. to The Gauss–Wantzel theorem links constructibility of a regular polygon to side counts built from a power of two and distinct Fermat primes..
• Wilson quotient
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.
