The odd integer sequence is expressed as \(O_{\geq 3}=3+2r_O\), while odd composite numbers are represented as \(OC_{p}=p^2+2pr_p\), where \(p\) is prime and \(r_{p}\geq 0\). Each prime-square sequence introduces a systematic elimination of odd composite numbers, reducing the density of primes in the sequence. By sequentially applying elimination factors \((q-1)/q\) for primes \(q\geq 3\), we derive a lower bound for prime density: \[ \frac{dN_p}{dr_O}\geq\frac{2}{p}. \] Considering the quadratic interval \([n^2,(n+1)^2]\), the total change in \(r_O\) is \(\Delta r_O=\frac{(n+1)^2-n^2}{2}=n+\frac{1}{2}\). Combining this with the density bound yields a lowest bound of prime count per interval: \[ \pi_{\left(n^2,(n+1)^2\right)}^{LB} \geq \left\lceil\frac{2}{p}\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right\rceil =2 \qquad (p~n+1). \] Thus, every quadratic interval \([n^2,(n+1)^2]\) contains at least two primes, establishing Legendre’s Conjecture. This elimination-based framework provides a systematic proof based on the distribution of odd integers and prime-square sequences. \begin{center} Fig(1) \end{center} \includegraphics[width=420pt,height=400pt]{Fig1.png} We can rewrite the odd integer sequence as follows: \[O_{\geq 3} = 3 + 2r_{O}(r_{O} \geq 0)\] Odd composite sequence: \[OC_{p} = p^{2} + 2pr_{p}\ \left( p = \text{prime,}r_{p} \geq 0 \right)\] Before the odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=3\) begins at \(3^2=9\), all odd integers in \(O_{\geq 3}\) are prime. For example, \(3\), \(5\), and \(7\) are prime numbers. The odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=3\) is \(9+6r_3\), where \(r_3\geq 0\).(See in Fig.1) When the odd integers exceed \(3^2=9\), the gap in the odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=3\) is \(2p=6\), while the gap in the odd integer sequence is \(2\). Therefore, every three consecutive odd integers contain one term from the odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=3\), since \(\frac{6}{2}=3\). Thus, one out of every three odd integers is eliminated. If we assume that no other odd composite sequences exist, the remaining proportion is \(1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\). \[\frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p = 3} = \frac{2}{3}\ \left( N_{p = 3} = \text{lowest~prime~number~due~to~elimination~of~}OC_{= 3}\text{~sequence} \right)\] When the odd integers exceed \(5^2=25\), the gap in the odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=5\) is \(2p=10\), while the gap in the odd integer sequence is \(2\). Therefore, one out of every five odd integers is eliminated, since \(\frac{10}{2}=5\), leaving a proportion of \(\frac{4}{5}\). Applying this elimination rate to the proportion \(\frac{2}{3}\) remaining after considering the odd composite sequence \(9+6r_3\) for \(p=3\), we obtain \(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{4}{5}=\frac{8}{15}\). This approach is used to estimate a lower bound for the proportion of odd integers remaining after successive odd composite sequences are considered. \[\frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p = 5} \geq \frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p = 3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{15}\] When the odd integers exceed \(7^2=49\), the gap in the odd composite sequence corresponding to \(p=7\) is \(2p=14\), while the gap in the odd integer sequence is \(2\). Therefore, one out of every seven odd integers is eliminated, since \(\frac{14}{2}=7\), leaving a proportion of \(\frac{6}{7}\). Applying this elimination rate to the proportion \(\frac{8}{15}\) remaining after considering the odd composite sequences \(9+6r_3\) for \(p=3\) and \(25+10r_5\) for \(p=5\), we obtain \(\frac{8}{15}\times\frac{6}{7}=\frac{16}{35}\). This approach is used to estimate a lower bound for the proportion of odd integers remaining after successive odd composite sequences are considered. \[\frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p = 7} \geq \frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p = 5} \times \frac{6}{7} = \frac{8}{15} \times \frac{6}{7} = \frac{48}{105}\] For the general case: \[ \frac{d}{dr_O}N_p \geq \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{6}{7}\times\cdots\times\frac{p-1}{p} = \prod_{\substack{3\leq q\leq p\\ q\text{ prime}}}\frac{q-1}{q} \] \[ \prod_{\substack{3\leq q\leq p\\ p,q\text{ prime}}} \frac{q-1}{q} \geq \frac{2}{p} \] Thus: \[\frac{d}{dr_{O}}N_{p} \geq \frac{2}{p}\] For a window \((n + 1)^{2} - n^{2}\): \[ \Delta r_O^{\text{for a window}} = \frac{(n+1)^2-n^2}{2} = n+\frac{1}{2} \] So the lowest bound of prime count: \[ \pi_{\left(n^2,(n+1)^2\right)}^{LB} \geq \left\lceil \frac{dN_p}{dr_O} \times \Delta r_O^{\text{for a window}} \right\rceil = \left\lceil \frac{2}{p}\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \right\rceil. \] We can assume that \(p\approx n+1\). Therefore, \[ \begin{aligned} \pi_{\left(n^2,(n+1)^2\right)}^{LB} &\geq \left\lceil \frac{dN_p}{dr_O} \times \Delta r_O^{\text{for a window}} \right\rceil \\[6pt] &= \left\lceil \frac{2}{p}\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \right\rceil \\[6pt] &\approx \left\lceil \frac{2}{n+1}\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \right\rceil \\[6pt] &= \left\lceil 2-\frac{1}{n+1} \right\rceil \\[6pt] &=2. \end{aligned} \] Conclusion Therefore, in every window \(\left\lbrack n^{2},(n + 1)^{2} \right\rbrack\), there are at least two primes. \end{document}
