Will we walk arbitrarily far off the y-axis?

Yes, because there are arbitrarily long gaps between consecutive primes.


For every gap $n\in\mathbb{N}$, there is a sequence of $n-1$ consecutive numbers, none of which is prime:

$$n!+2,n!+3,\dots,n!+n$$

In other words, there is no finite bound on the gap between two consecutive primes.

Hence there is no limit as to how far off the y-axis your illustration goes...
