Fumfer Physics 34: P vs NP, Gödel, Chaitin, and Computational Limits
In this exchange, Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner explore the P vs NP problem and its philosophical echoes. Rosner leans toward the mainstream view that P likely does not equal NP, drawing a parallel to Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. Jacobsen expands the discussion with Tarski’s meta-language framework and Chaitin’s arguments about irreducible complexity, connecting them to both biological systems and modern AI. The conversation emphasizes that mathematical uncertainty does not endanger reality; instead, it reveals intrinsic limits on what computation can achieve. The pair illustrate this with the traveling salesman problem, an archetype of explosive combinatorial complexity in the real world.
