The Social Physics of Complexity: P vs NP as an Inequality of Control Power
Abstract
This article proposes a radical re-interpretation of the $P$ versus $NP$ millennium problem. Moving beyond pure mathematics, we define the conjecture as a fundamental law of "Social Physics" that governs the asymmetric distribution of power through a "Dimensional Mismatch." We explore the roles of "Controls" and "Smalls," the illusion of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and the 3-bit "Magician's Blink" of the PCP theorem.
