PYTHAGOREAN CHAINS AND ARITHMETIC GRAPHS

Abstract

Primitive Pythagorean triples are traditionally studied as isolated integer solutions of the classical equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. This work proposes a dynamic viewpoint, considering the recursive structures that arise when the hypotenuse of one primitive Pythagorean triangle becomes a leg of another. This formulation naturally induces a directed arithmetic graph supporting: Depth dynamics under strict scaling ceilings. Branching phenomena governed by nontrivial odd-odd factorizations. Telescoping higher-dimensional sum-of-squares identities ($a_1^2 + b_1^2 + b_2^2 + \dots + b_k^2 = c_k^2$). Computational exploration up to $C_{max} = 10^{25}$ reveals highly non-uniform depth distributions and rare, extremely persistent triples, featuring a discovered champion triple achieving a maximum depth of 27. INCLUDED FILES: The primary research overview and executive summary. Supplemental material presenting the statistical tables and data distributions. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RESEARCHERS & COLLABORATORS: The full 16-page manuscript containing complete rigorous proofs, extended algorithmic methodologies, and further algebraic properties is fully prepared and available upon request.
