Problem description: NP problem solutions can be verified in Polynomial time.

Problem description: NP problem solutions can be verified in Polynomial time. Every problem in NP can be reduced to a NP complete problem. These in turn can be reduced to a logic gate circuit to represent a Boolean Truth Table ( SAT or Boolean satisfiability problem?). Assume a Boolean Truth table, with number of columns as (N) and rows as (2^N). Now search for one specific random row in this table (Solved Rubik's cube Config). Every-other row computes to one while only this row computes to zero (Exact Global minima). So do NP complete problems occurring in nature have a hidden pattern or is Brute force the only resort in the worst case scenario, as it is currently? A) To prove P = NP, find a polynomial time algorithm to solve 1) If a given graph has a Hamiltonian Circuit of path length less than length 'k' (Decision problem) or to solve 2) The Traveling salesman Problem (Shortest path). B) To prove P =!NP, prove that no such algorithm can ever be invented :) __________________________________________________ I've shared the chat I've had with an AI LLM, as a precursor to a "ICALP LICS FSCD 2024 - Award Talks" (see youtube video description for link).
