Going Around In Circle

 The presence of q does not guarantee that q+2 is prime.

where the bisector of arc 2(q+2) intersects arc 2b at a integer marking.  A line through the 1st marking on arc 2b intersect arc 2(q+2) at the ath mark.

q+2=ab

if a is not an integer neither a nor b is a factor of q+2.

q is prime means none of the 1st intercept lines (lines through the first mark and the center of the arc) below it, cross it at an integer marking.

The first mark intercept lines approaches the vertical as the arc value approach 2q.

The first mark intercept from arc 2q will be very close to the first mark of 2(q+2).

The widest 1st mark comes from q=3 or an arc of length 6.  If this 1st intercept line crosses on Ra on arc 2(q+2)then the integer marks between the first mark on arc 2(q+2) and Ra will have no intercepts from all first mark intercept from arcs below it, when q+2 is prime.

The arc 2q=6 divides the right angle in π12 this angle extends a width,

π122π2(q+2)=13(q+2)

on arc 2(q+2).

So, q+2 is prime only if there are no intercepts from its third mark to the 13(q+2) mark due to all 1st mark intercept lines below it.

This narrows the range from which a factor of q+2 can be found, to a number up to 13(q+2) after considering the number 3.

All numbers above arc b=3 will mark, with a 1st intercept line, to the left of the 1st intercept line from b=3, and narrows the range from which a factor can be found.

Only b that are odd are considered.

The 1st intercept steps in decreasing step angle given by π4b.

The step angle size of q is π4q.  If, an integer marking at n, intercepts with the first intercept line from arc b.

nπ4q=π4b

then     q=nb

then q has a factor n, and b.

There is no further information to indicate q+2 to be prime.
