contents <p>We demonstrate that the electron shell structure of atoms, the distribution of prime numbers, and the zeros of the Riemann zeta function are all manifestations of a single underlying equation—the Unified Wave Equation of the Canvas Model. This equation, together with a threshold condition and an eigenvalue equation, generates all spectral phenomena across physics and mathematics.</p> <p>What this paper provides:</p> <p>· A periodic table of spectral transforms that classifies 48 known and predicted transforms, 31 Hilbert spaces, and over 450 mathematical concepts across 14 branches of mathematics. The hydrogen atom (Schrödinger spectral transform) occupies row T35. The prime number distribution (TAC spectral transform) occupies row T29. Both are configurations of the same eight primitives on different lattices with different potentials. Both are spectral resonances of the same equation.<br>· A unified spectral framework for chemistry and number theory. The hydrogen atom's Coulomb potential V(r) = -e^2/r (Amplitude configuration B3) and the prime lattice's von Mangoldt potential \Lambda(n) = \ln p (B6) are different potentials in the same Unified Wave Equation. The eigenvalues of the hydrogen atom are E_n = -13.6/n^2 eV with degeneracy 2n^2, giving the electron shell filling: 2, 8, 18, 32, 50, 72, 98... The eigenvalues of the TAC operator are the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, conjectured to lie on \operatorname{Re}(s) = 1/2, giving the prime distribution \pi(x) \sim x/\log x + \text{oscillations}. The periodic table of elements and the distribution of primes are two columns of the same classification.<br>· A physical interpretation of the Riemann Hypothesis. The non-trivial zeros are closed waves formed by matter-antimatter annihilation on the prime lattice. The critical line \operatorname{Re}(s) = 1/2 is the unique equilibrium where matter and antimatter amplitudes balance.
