> the even values of n approach the GCD pattern as the values increase

Meaning that the chance of finding a prime in these sequences of N numbers approaches one, after eliminating the cases that make primes impossible (n odd and r=2 mod 4, gcd(r,c) > 1).

Is there any deeper meaning to that, or is it simply that the probability of finding a prime in any sequence of n numbers approaches one as n increases, excluding sequences in which primes are impossible?
