- This paper introduces a new type of covering process that covers the set of natural numbers using renewal processes as objects. Inspired by the behavior of prime numbers, the model in each step finds the smallest vacant point, $k$, and place, starting in $k$, a renewal process with a step distribution given by a geometric random variable with parameter $\frac{1}{k}$. The model depends on its entire past, and small perturbations in its initial value can lead to very different outcomes. Here, we expose a technique that finds the first-order limit behavior for the number of objects placed until $n$, which exhibits intriguing similarities to prime number distributions, having a concentration around $n\log{n}$.
