rank of apparition

Noun

 * 1)  Given a positive integer m and a divisibility sequence Sk, the smallest index k such that Sk is divisible by m; such an index for some generalisation of the concept (for example to allow multiple ranks of apparition for a given m).

 * A similar identification between Pascal's Triangle modulo p and the Fibonacci Triangle modulo p can be made for primes p which have the length of the period equal to twice their rank of apparition in the Fibonacci Sequence.

Usage notes

 * Typically, the integer whose rank of apparition is wanted (here called m) is specified to be a prime number (and called p). This reflects the fact that the principal issue at hand is divisibility.
