(3) Acted as a reviewer for a paper already published,
(4) Had to deal with a professional review of a paper that they
submitted for publication,
(5) And have never acted as a teaching fellow (with grading responsibilities) for a math course.

They do not have the competence to make a judgment about the
mathematical value of a paper.

If my peers in this forum believe that I am mistaken in my judgment
about the paper, then I gladly accept their criticisms.

Someone submitting a paper in a public forum should meet certain minimal
standards of scholarship. The paper under discussion does not meet those
standards. It contains a lot of handwaving, non-standard use of notation,
and much too little rigor to be taken seriously. In a general way it is
much too informal to have much merit.

Finally, it is no mystery that sine functions (and their compositions) are
periodic in a way that corresponds to the periodicity of modular arithmetic.
Mathematical qualification is what you know and not (necessarily) what degrees you own.

I support Cheesehead's claim.

Mr. Silverman isn't criticizing in an objective matter and is more or less just trolling around.

Enough.

Thread locked until tomorrow.
