If the numbers of integers-per-dot was set to 1, the sequence would simply highlight prime numbers as they progress through the pyramid shape since “Parallax Compression” would no longer apply.

Yet they say that this only seems valid for the number of rows equal to the number of integers-per-dot that was used. So, it would indeed highlight with reasonable certainty all the primes in the first row. (I am not a mathematician but I think that is "1" ?)
The triangle is a hexagon folded onto itself. That's what the "parallax" part is.
