AnonymousXipang··on A possible syntactic inconsistency inside the P vs. NP formulation
“Not comparable” doesn’t necessarily mean “meaningless.” Focusing on the structure behind “=” can give a different view.

If you want to explore it further, a place more suited to longer, multi-angle discussion would probably work better than here.

AnonymousXipang··on A possible syntactic inconsistency inside the P vs. NP formulation
This is not a proof or a claimed solution.

The manuscript attempts to point out that one syntactic assumption inside the standard P vs NP formulation may behave inconsistently when it is expanded structurally.

I would appreciate refutation, counterexamples, or clarification from those familiar with complexity theory or formal logic.
