Abstract
A natural partial order on the set of prime numbers was derived by the author from the internal symmetries of the primary finite fields [1], independently of [2], who investigated Pratt trees [3] used for primality tests. It leads to a correspondence with the Hopf algebra of rooted trees, and as an application, to an alternative approach to the Prime Number Theorem.
