WHAT THIS RECORD ISDerrick’s proof that P ≠ NP, with the burden priced in thermodynamic currency — a substrate-independent toll no gate basis discounts.
THE CLASSICAL SEAM — WHERE THE PROBLEM STOOD
P =? NP — every combinatorial lower-bound program blocked by the Razborov–Rudich natural-proofs barrier; the cost read in gate counts, a basis-dependent magnitude
THE ROUTE — CLASSICAL PILLARS + THE CROSSING/BRIDGE
Five classical pillars: Landauer’s principle (measured); Bennett reversible completion; argument-principle integrality of winding numbers; Razborov and Jerrum–Snir monotone bounds; the natural-proofs barrier itself. + Theorem 4.5 (Bridge): the winding demand of SEARCH grows super-polynomially on the GENERAL basis — the topological invariant priced by Landauer, substrate-independent. The barrier becomes confirmation: a natural proof would be a discount, and the toll admits none.
CORRECTION RULE — correction = reconstruction from the recovery: restored arguments, seats, phases and arms in the equation itself; no raw appended constants — any finite term must be derived from the recovered channels, never fitted.
