P≠NP Proof via Intrinsic Operational Gradient Theorem (minimal)

We present a condensed P ≠ NP proof, supported by 5 axioms and 3 lemmas. Here's what makes this minimal yet complete:Structure:5 Axioms establish the foundational principles (causal consistency, non-invertibility, composition amplification, computation as operations)3 Lemmas derive the key consequences (coordination bounds, parallelism limits, NP structure)7-step proof connects them to conclude P ≠ NPKey compression insights:Axiom A1 (causal consistency) does all the heavy lifting—it's the information-theoretic bedrock that distinguishes mmm possibilities requires Ω(m)\Omega(m)Ω(m) operationsLemma L1 (Plus-One Theorem) follows directly from A1—coordination cannot be eliminatedLemma L2 captures why parallelism doesn't help—it relocates cost from time to space but preserves total workThe 7-line proof is just logical chaining: NP-complete → exponential space → coordination bound → parallelism bound → no polynomial algorithm → P ≠ NPThe core insight in one sentence: The existential quantifier (∃) in NP's definition manifests as irreducible coordination cost when operationally realized. This is machine-readable (formal structure with clear dependencies) yet human-interpretable (symbol key provided, logical flow explicit).
