This series works as a sum because the Prime gaps are in general
a factor of two:
Prime[n]=Prime[n-1]+Gap[n]
Gap[n]=2*w[n]
Product[1/Gap[n],{n,1,Infinity]=0 as 1/2^n->0
In general except for the first value w[n] behaves as a chaotic
with minimum 1 and a building maximum on a cycle.
The study of what are called prime pairs ( primes 2 apart by gap)
shows this cyclic building behavior and is well known.
The cycle maximum is thought to approach infinity in a countable manner:
wmax[m]=wmax[m-1]+1
where
m=f[Prime[n]]
(*Product converges to limit of zero as 1/2^n*)
f[m_]=Product[1/(Prime[n+1]-Prime[n]),{n,1,m}]
(* number as sum of Product gap function increments*)
Digits=200;a=Table[f[n],{n,1,Digits}];
b=N[Apply[Plus,a],Digits]
(* digits of the new irrational number*)
c=Table[Floor[Mod[b*10^n,10]],{n,0,Digits-1}]
