In particular, by truncating the set \(\mathcal{P}\) of all primes for given suitable real numbers \(t\lt s\) in \(\mathbb{R}\), two different types of truncated linear functionals \(\tau_{t_{1}\lt t_{2}}\), and \(\tau_{t_{1}\lt t_{2}}^{+}\) are constructed on the Banach \(*\)-algebra \(\mathfrak{LS}\). We show how original free distributional data (with respect to \(\tau ^{0}\)) are distorted by the truncations on \(\mathcal{P}\) (with respect to \(\tau_{t\lt s}\), and \(\tau_{t\lt s}^{+}\)). As application, distorted free distributions of the semicircular law, and those of the circular law are characterized up to truncation.
