Well just add more data points (7, 11, 13, etc) until the simplest solution is a prime solution.
As i said, i don’t know anything about this program, but conceptually i think you first need to define what you mean by “simplest solution”. Because at least for me a polynomial is the simplest solution regardless how many data points there are because then the problem is reducible to a set of linear equations that a computer can easily solve.
However if we specify that the solution needs to be one with the lowest number of parameters possible, then it gets interesting. Then you can have an algorithm start to iteratively test solutions, and try to reduce complexity until it hopefully arrives at something resembling a prime number generator. Or it may not. I don’t know if this is even possible because one well known problem with the “gradient descent” approach is that your algorithm can get stuck in a local valley. It thinks it’s found the optimal solution but it’s stuck in a false minimum because it does not have the “imagination” to start to test an entirely different class of solutions that may at first be much less efficient.
