Toward P vs NP: An Observer-Theoretic Separation via SPDP Rank and a ZFC-Equivalent Foundation within the N-Frame Model

Candidate status

Unadjudicated candidate

Unadjudicated

The Register publishes this census record without endorsing or adjudicating the mathematical claim.

Unadjudicated does not mean endorsed.

No refutation is recorded in the census data. Absence of a located response is not evidence that none exists.

Register census note

Inclusion basis

The abstract explicitly states that the framework yields a contradiction under P=NP and establishes separation.
