Abstract

This work defines a curvature-bounded wave-computation model and studies complexity classes internal to that model. Its separation claim is explicitly model-relative: it concerns P_WCC and NP_WCC under the stated physical and geometric constraints rather than claiming an unrestricted proof of the classical P versus NP problem.

Plain-language overview

Research question

Within a curvature-bounded wave-computation model, do the internal complexity classes P_WCC and NP_WCC separate?

Main contribution

  • Defines a curvature-bounded wave-computation model with explicit physical and geometric constraints.
  • Establishes a model-relative separation argument for P_WCC and NP_WCC.

Evidence type

Analytical derivationConceptual architecture

Current limitations

The separation is explicitly model-relative and does not claim an unrestricted proof of the classical P versus NP problem.

Explicit falsifiers

  • A polynomial-overhead simulation invalidates the claimed separation under the same encoding, precision, and resource assumptions.

Open obligations

  • Specify encoding, precision, update cost, resource bounds, and theorem-level relations to standard computational models.
