I’m a student with a strong interest in computer science and complexity theory. Recently, I worked on a manuscript attempting to prove that P ≠ NP.
I know how this sounds — it’s one of the hardest and most debated problems in CS, and many have tried and failed. I don’t claim to have the final answer, but I believe the approach I used might at least offer some fresh perspective or provoke useful critique.
The idea involves geometric separation between deterministic and nondeterministic computation, using high-dimensional lattice constructions and some physics-inspired intuition. The full argument is technical, but I tried to keep it logically structured.
The preprint is 93 pages long. It was originally written in Russian, and I created an English version via machine translation, so apologies in advance for awkward wording or formatting.

I’m genuinely open to feedback — whether it’s pointing out flaws, questioning assumptions, or just explaining why this approach doesn’t work. Any form of critical input is welcome.
If there’s interest, I can also create a short video explanation in simple terms to walk through the core ideas — even though I don’t have a channel or any audience yet.
Thanks in advance for taking the time, even if it’s just to skim or tell me what to fix!
