Abstract

This white paper demonstrates that reverse engineering Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) is NP-complete under classical computational paradigms. By modeling UAP reconstruction as an automaton identification problem with a state characterization matrix M(D, T, E) and examining the inherent challenges in data gathering as well as unknown physics, we show that inferring internal mechanisms (such as Isotopically-Engineered-Materials or unconventional propulsion systems) from finite observational data is computationally intractable. Data D, comprising both operational non-reproducible observations and reproducible analysis data from purported crash retrievals, remains inherently fragmentary. Even if UAP observables were reproducible, the absence of a comprehensive theoretical framework ensures that reverse engineering remains NP-complete, and may escalate to PSPACE-hard or to an Entscheidungsproblem. This intractability challenges current UAP reverse engineering efforts and has profound implications for transparency on UAP technology and related venture investments. Hence, UAP are as analogous to modern smartphones in the hands of Neanderthals.

The Computational Complexity of Holant Problems on 4-regular Graphs from the Stable Subgroup Sequence of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$

The Holant framework provides a general setting for studying counting problems and includes graph homomorphisms (\#GH) and counting constraint satisfaction problems (\#CSP) as special cases. Over the past twenty years, a series of computational complexity dichotomies have been established for Holant problems, but the classification for complex-valued signatures is still open. The main obstacle is the case in which all signatures have even arity. In this paper, we establish a dichotomy for Holant problems with a complex-valued 4-ary signature, which is a key base case for the full classification of Holant problems. We present a new strategy by introducing Schur's theorem, the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and stable subgroup sequences into the proof. These new techniques are of independent interest.

Topology inside NC$^1$

We show that ACC$^0$ is precisely what can be computed with constant-width circuits of polynomial size and polylogarithmic genus. This extends a characterization given by Hansen, showing that planar constant-width circuits also characterize ACC$^0$. Thus polylogarithmic genus provides no additional computational power in this model. We consider other generalizations of planarity, including crossing number and thickness. We show that constant-width circuits of polynomial size and thickness two already suffice to capture all of NC$^1$.
