Summary: Let \(P(X)\) denote the polycyclic monoid (Cuntz semigroup) on a nonempty set \(X\) and let \(A\) denote the Banach algebra \(l^1(P(X))/Z\), where \(Z\) is the (closed) ideal spanned by the zero of \(P(X)\). Then \(A\) is primitive. Moreover, \(A\) is simple if and only if \(X\) is infinite.
