Funny AA, almost posted this last night. Regarding the Pythagorean primes, thought it was making sense but was digging deeper to try and understand. Found this: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem ; see pic attached).
"The prime decomposition of the number 2450 is given by 2450 = 2 · 5^2 · 7^2. Of the primes occurring in this decomposition, 2, 5, and 7, only 7 is congruent to 3 modulo 4. Its exponent in the decomposition, 2, is even. Therefore, the theorem states, it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7^2 + 49^2."
"The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7^3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares."

So… given it seems q&(a') has been extended a bit, am wondering if we took a number such as 17, and then used 17^2 (instead of just exponent of '1' for the q-series, what are the implications? Can this help us? Sort of spit balling but curious about exponents.
..and, what about Vectors in all this??
