P ≠ NP: A Proof via Temporal Ontology

We prove P≠NP by establishing that P and NP are fundamentally distinct ontologicalcategories: P is a timeless operation, while NP is inherently temporal. Since timelessnessand temporality are mutually exclusive properties, P cannot equal NP. The proof requiresonly the definitions of verification, discovery, and time itself.

Abstract

We prove P≠NP by establishing that P and NP are fundamentally distinct ontologicalcategories: P is a timeless operation, while NP is inherently temporal. Since timelessnessand temporality are mutually exclusive properties, P cannot equal NP. The proof requiresonly the definitions of verification, discovery, and time itself.
