Crumbs to focus on
In the (e,1) solution, d[t] = na+x
and a[t] = na
Therefore, if you can find the t value of this element, you can factor all semiprimes.

Why are there gaps?
The reason for the gaps may be because the VQC does not include decimal numbers. That is, because cells with gaps are the cells where the midpoint of a and b would not be a whole number. Or, worded another way, the difference between a and b would be an odd number.
There is a repeating pattern of gaps as you move horizontally from (0, n) to the right.
The pattern of gaps repeats every 2n if n is even.
The pattern of gaps repeats every n if n is odd.
>If first appearance of factor p is element t, second appearance will be at (p+1-t)
>p will be a factor of a in elements: t+p, t+2p, t+3p,…
as well as in elements:
>p+1-t, 2p+1-t, 3p+1-t,…
take d from all values of d[t] at (e,1) and there is a known pattern of (n-1) as factor in these values of d[t]-d that is different (increasingly) from the pattern of factors of n in a[t]
Why do the values in row one determine all the values in the columns below them?
Let me break that down.
Find every value of d - d[t]
There is a pattern of (n-1) being a factor.
Find every value of a[t].
There is a pattern of n being a factor.
The pattern in the first group of values is "increasingly different" from the second. We must catalogue these patterns.
