More Thoughts on on P = NP

You essentially would be looking for a magic solution to everything. Just based on geometry, you can't solve P = NP. It's taking a Nondeterministic Polynomial and making it into a Polynomial. That's what it's saying. You'd need to break geometry to do it. Even getting to finite solutions on your prime factoring, and always checking them, requires an entirely different species of math than other things it would be used for. It is generalizing a formula for all forms of geometry. That simply can't happen. It's why a Circle is different than a Square and a Square is different than a Rectangle. It's just based on different observations of shapes, which finding a way to see if a thing is solved in all cases cannot be generalized, because every formula is a different shape, essentially, rooted in that specific problem.
