This paper constructs three classes of deeply intertwined recursive sequences for Mersenne primes, encompassing all Mersenne-type core structures of the forms 2p-3, 2p-1, and 2p+3. These three classes of sequences share a common pool of prime exponents and serve as mutual recursive foundations for one another, thereby forming an organically unified recursive network. The derivations are rigorously established by relying on elementary modular arithmetic, Fermat's Little Theorem, and the $6n pm 1$ prime configuration, combined with mathematical induction and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. The terms of these sequences naturally differ by 2 from their respective "plus-two" counterparts, thereby constituting candidates for twin primes. By demonstrating the super-exponential growth property of this recursive network, the interchange of infinite quantifiers is rigorously executed within an elementary framework; this establishes the existence of a unified steady-state time and, consequently, proves the infinitude of twin primes. Simultaneously, the standard Mersenne recursive chain itself directly generates an infinite number of Mersenne primes, thereby synchronously resolving the conjecture regarding the infinitude of Mersenne primes. The entire process employs exclusively elementary number theory tools—eschewing analytic number theory and advanced sieve methods—and is logically self-consistent, free of logical gaps or leaps, and fully compliant with the axiomatic system of elementary number theory.
