Kenneth Udut 12-15-2000 - just found this in one of my 3x5 notepads. The answer lay in the NP complete solution. Experience is the necessary key to NP complete. One must go through it. It's not-viewable.* The assumption that all parts of the equation must be visible at all times is part of the problem. If NP is solvable, then we can mathematically predict the future. Sitting still, or rather, pure experience - is the answer at any given moment one must be PRESENT and aware. The need to remember is in the way too. A barrier, ie - trying to compress TIME gets in the way. The trance / time - the experience - is a necessary part. An NP complete "problem" _is_ human-ness.* You can't reduce humanness to mathematics - it's not powerful enough. Solution to NP problems?* Look at the map.* If there isn't one, make one.
