  This article is a survey based on our earlier paper ("The 'Vertical'
Generalization of the Binary Goldbach's Conjecture as Applied on 'Iterative'
Primes with (Recursive) Prime Indexes (i-primeths)" [11]), a paper in which we
have proposed a new generalization of the binary/"strong" Goldbach's Conjecture
(GC) briefly called "the Vertical Goldbach's Conjecture" (VGC), which is
essentially a meta-conjecture, as VGC states an in finite number of
Goldbach-like conjectures stronger than GC, which all apply on "iterative"
primes with recursive prime indexes (named "i-primes"). VGC was discovered by
the author of this paper in 2007, after which it was improved and extended (by
computational verifications) until the present (2020). VGC distinguishes as a
very important "meta-conjecture" of primes because it states a new class
containing an infinite number of conjectures stronger/stricter than GC. VGC has
great potential importance in the optimization of the GC experimental
verification (including other possible theoretical and practical applications
in mathematics and physics). VGC can be also regarded as a very special
self-similar property of the distribution of the primes. This present survey
contains some new results on VGC.
