How it scores
About 7.8% of the range is prime, so a prime roll is nice but not spectacular — a few bits of score. The real juice comes when primality stacks with digit patterns, like a palindromic prime.
The formula: -log2(count / 1,000,001) bits per trait, capped at 20, summed with 0.5 decay per additional trait.
