According to Websters, the definition of logical is to go with logic or what is reasonable and expected. In this aspect, Chris is wrong about prime numbers being logical because virtually all numbers are composite (having more than two factors). They go against what is expected of an arbitrarily chosen number. Although, in the book Chris has a slightly different logical thinking than the average person. His statement that says you could never work out the rules but they are still logical, to me, is a contradictory statement.
I agree that prime numbers are what you have left after no patterns because if there is a pattern in a number then there are most likely other factors of it. I also agree that prime numbers are like life because some of what we do in life is illogical and prime numbers are also illogical. But i think that the Union of these statements is not true because there are patterns in life. Hence the quote "Learn from History so it doesn't repeat itself" which means that something will reoccur (which is a pattern). Also every single measureable statistic for an entire population of anything can be graphed on the bell curve. This means that for anything that can be thought of, people fall into ranges of average (67.5%), normal (95%), and "special" (99.75%) which is also a pattern in life.
