1. Sieve Of Eratosthenes

   The "Perfection Bias"
   Early implementations often exhibited a systematic undercounting of primes near powers of three ($3^k$). This phenomenon, termed the "Perfection Bias," was attributed to the inherent tendency of the number three to absorb surrounding probabilistic noise during the initial sieving steps. Modern algorithmic design mitigates this by applying a differential multiplier ($\phi = 1.00012$) to the initial value of $p=3$ during its first iteration, effectively balancing the inherent symmetry perceived by the chalk mixture [5].
