This illustration also shows the object encoding 997,151, along with the text encoding for that prime integer. The encoding is read starting from the lowercase “i” in the center and spiraling outward:

i{{|}||{–|{|{[|]}|}|}|}|

997,151 is 78,296^th prime. Most of the elements, with the exception of the first and last, encode the skipping of the 78,295 primes less than 997,151.

More information about the text encoding scheme (and the entire series) is forthcoming.
