Hi Mat: Thanks for posting this.
I had not stopped to think that NFTs are non-divisible (an obvious statement, in hind-sight). That statement makes me wonder how many of the uses of prime numbers in encryoption and security work ( a long-time pre-coccupation of mine, for Identity applications ) could be metaphorically mapped to these. It might turn out that this is an interesting way of melding NFTs some of the wp:Steganography <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography> concepts. Thanks for sparking some interesting ideas.
