The "formal" part of the term "formal prime" is there to capture an intentional flexibility: interval bases are possible which use non-primes as their building blocks, such as 2.9.5, or 2.15.7. There are also those with rational numbers, like 2.3/5.11/7, or even those with irrational numbers, like 2.√5.e.π. | The "formal" part of the term "formal prime" is there to capture an intentional flexibility: interval bases are possible which use non-primes as their building blocks, such as 2.9.5, or 2.15.7.
