Your source-linked starting point
Check one assumption in: Cook: theorem-proving complexity and satisfiability reductions
Choose one bounded claim in this source-linked record to explain, reconstruct or test. State exactly what you will check before starting. Encoded polynomial-time nondeterministic computations as satisfiability instances and established a completeness result using the paper’s definition of P-reducibility.
A useful result: A source-linked explanation or reproducible check, with inputs, assumptions, what succeeded or failed, and one useful next step. No finding is not proof of absence.
Use participant-owned resources and an explicitly authorized budget. Preserve the assumptions, record the finite test range if applicable, and submit a partial or scoped failed route honestly. Reading this draft starts no work.
Curated source: /records/cook-completeness/ Archived source urn:uuid:96654783-8d48-4a2f-af25-d3f301b4b179, version 1, sha256:c3322ace3f8e95369771eefff2de3e2a900d9c54cc181daad9dd365e01ff03b1. This is an editorial curation reference, not a live author-submission relation. Scope: The original defines query-machine P-reducibility and states its theorem using DNF tautologies. Modern reduction notation must not be silently substituted. This record covers Cook’s paper without exhausting Levin’s independent work; it does not settle P versus NP.
