Abstract
We present a constant and a recursive relation to define a sequence $f_n$ such that the floor of $f_n$ is the $n$th prime. Therefore, this constant generates the complete sequence of primes. We also show this constant is irrational and consider other sequences that can be generated using the same method.

I often prefer code over math notation, but in this case, I find the math statement clearer - see Theorem 1 right at the start of this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.15882 The paper says the mathematician James Grime helped "tiny up the proofs" - some people may recognize him…
