Computational Complexity in Dynamic Systems:A Rigorous Rejection of P = NP in Chess,Genetics, and the Stock Market
Abstract
This paper provides a rigorous analysis of the computational complexity
in three dynamic systems—chess with rule-changing power, genetic
sequence alignment with random mutations, and stock market prediction
with manipulative players—to argue that P ̸= NP. We emphasize that
the temporal patterns (e.g., move sequences in chess, evolutionary timelines
in genetics, and time-series price movements in the stock market)
in these systems cannot be reduced to polynomial-time computable problems,
due to their inherent exponential or super-polynomial complexity.
In the chess scenario, rule changes are constrained to preserve EXPTIMEcompleteness.
In genetics, multiple sequence alignment (MSA) remains
NP-complete even under stochastic mutations. In the stock market, predicting
short-term time-series patterns is NP-hard or worse, as market
efficiency implies P = NP. Formal arguments, including reductions and
complexity class separations, demonstrate that these temporal dynamics
resist polynomial-time solutions. A chart visualizes the exponential state
space growth, reinforcing the rejection of P = NP.
