Conjectures A Weibull or exponential distribution
models the distances and increments between consecutive primes when separated modulo six.
The extreme values over a certain threshold follow a generalized pareto distribution.
The number of distances congruent to two and four modulo six approach a limit.
The waiting times between extreme values follow a Poisson process.
