No it isn't. When walking, you can revert mid-step. It's not a dynamic movement, but running is, leaving you temporaily airborne.

By those parameters, "decent level" refers to the harder questions on USAMO/IMO... the top 100 in USA in a given grade level. Burnside's lemma is a silly trick, in the sense that it's easy to memorize without knowin

In other words, the university was terrible at pacing the material, and the high school could only salvage the first year. Very common at university.

Continuing this reductio ad abusrdum, you might reach the fallactious conclusion, as some famous cranks in the past did, that intelligence is even found in plants, animals, women, and even the uncivilized savages of the new continent. Intel

Kolmogorov complexity is an effort to wrangle it. It's impossible to fully solve. You can change measured complexity by altering the baseline assumptions.

The question is about computability, in the sense it's asking to recognize the possibility of an unknown (trivial) computable function. The "God stuff" is an distraction, with modal-logic ambiguities as another commenter wrot

You are further demonstrating how the cloudy semantics of the question and of casual semi-mathematical English language makes the problem harder than it needs to be. This is a huge problem in probability theory, as you allude to. Experts of

My point is that N is most probably bigger than the entire Universe, if it turns out to be finite.

I think that Computational Complexity has the worst language (for defining and communicating ideas) of any mathematical discipline. It's ironic, since it's a mathematical study of languages .

If NP somehow was proved to be P, with a likely value being something like O(n^(10^10^10)) or much larger, would the actual constructive reduction be at all useful?

ZKP is the subject. The maps part is a helper lemma. It would help to clarify that in the beginning. The game is a bit of a shaggy dog tail. It would be good to give an outline and progress bar at the start (without spoilers)
