We show that no total functional can uniformly transform $Π_1$ primality into explicit $Σ_1$ witnesses without violating normalization in $\mathsf{HA}$. The argument proceeds through three complementary translations: a geometric interpretation in which compositeness and primality correspond to local and global packing configurations; a proof-theoretic analysis demonstrating the impossibility of uniform $Σ_1$ extraction; and a recursion-theoretic formulation linking these constraints to the absence of total Skolem functions in $\mathsf{PA}$. The formal analysis in constructive logic is followed by heuristic remarks interpreting the results in informational terms.
