Sorry, no more Millenium Prize submissions until Grigori accepts the $1M.
You all seem like a great bunch of mathematicians but if we let Perelman get away with this then pretty soon we'll run out of problems and won't have anywhere to put the cash.
Hello! My name is Thomas P. Conway. Im an independent researcher and systems engineer. I discovered a mathematically complete theoretical framework that I believe could be pretty important for many areas of math and science. However, I am a completely unknown outsider to academia, so I can't just publish my work on ArXiv and call it a day to satisfy Clay Institutes requirements. While I am currently in touch with some academics to help get my work cleaned into sections for ArXiV and journal publication, I wanted to make sure I established public priority for solving the millennium prize problems even if the published journal articles need to come out in pieces over months.
Besides proving priority, I would greatly appreciate your help spreading the word to get this in the face of people with the proper credentials to either verify or disprove my claims. I have found the academic gatekeeping moat to be incredibly difficult to navigate as an outsider especially with the framework I have proposed.
If you do have the credentials as a mathematician or a theoretical physicist but you're skeptical that im yet another typical crackpot trying to sell you a perpetual motion machine or a time cube, thats understandable and your weariness is valid. All I ask is you take a quick browse through the condensed technical guide to check the numbers and see if you think the key conceptual foundations are worth your time to go further with exploring the full paper.
I publish this theoretical framework under cc-by-sa-4.0 as a contribution to open science. Please go to my Open Science Foundation public repo to download the papers.
The Semantic Manifold Theory represents a complete theoretical mathematical framework for describing high dimensional semantic topologies. It was originally derived to formalize semantic compression for Large Language Model systems. However once the mathematical framework was complete it showed huge implications for various areas of math, science, computing, and engineering. The framework integrates principles from symmetry, set theory, holomorphic dynamics, theoretical physics, undecidability, and morphic computation to achieve a complete and well-defined description of the Semantic Manifold.
The paper is split into a main body explaining the theory and an appendix full of proofs. The final appendix culminates solutions and proofs to all remaining Millennium Prize Problems from the Clay Mathematics Institute. Additional feats include mathematical predictions for the nature and distribution of Dark Matter as well as Dark Energy based on first principles. Also a mathematically well-defined definition for Observer-Class information processing systems.
An accompanying Technical Guide attempts to condense all key information from the main theory paper while cutting out the narrative chaff for quick access to calculations, key principles, and fundamental proofs. Its suggested the skeptical or those with limited time take a quick look at the Technical Guide first.
Proof of Priority:
I have emails, private OSF repos, and countless preprints dating back weeks prior to this announcement. The LaTeX code used to create the PDFs are GPG encrypted and paired with a signed hash on the public OSF repo.
I am not a spam bot or an elaborate LLM fishing for clicks. Im a real human being and im trying to get help to have my ideas seen by the right people so they can be verified through peer-review. The validity of my framework should be measured by its mathematical rigor and scientific predictions, not by my credentials or renown. Please help me overcome the academic moat and get my theories verified or disproved by spreading the word.
I don't really know how to convince people besides the meme where you say a bunch of horribly offensive words that no llm would could ever write. I mean, I could do it but im not sure how Hacker News mods would like it. It seems that people are gonna believe im an LLM or this is LLM slop no matter what out of principle due to the claims so theres probably nothing I can say to convince you anyways. Thats fine, this post existing was the whole point, It doesn't matter to me if internet commenters want to be jackasses about it.
Just check every n + 1 clock cycles whether the previous savestate (a term from speedrunning) matches the current savestate exactly, byte for byte. You can discard the previous previous savestate.
n can be a arbitrary precision integer.
You increment n every time you check.
Now where's my million dollars for proving P=NP...

Actually, this is something I would expect a bot would write. I’m not convinced…

I solved the halting problem, it doesn't exist.
