Abstract
A concatenation Model for the NP complete problems is given. Stability analysis, Solutional behavior
are conducted. Due to space constraints, we do not go in to specification expatiations and enucleation of
the diverse subjects and fields that the constituents belong to in the sense of widest commonalty term.
Introduction
NP Complete problems in physical reality comprise of
(1) Soap Bubble
(2) Protein Folding
(3) Quantum Computing
(4) Quantum Advice
(5) Quantum Adiabatic algorithms
(6) Quantum Mechanical Nonlinearities
(7) Hidden Variables
(8) Relativistic Time Dilation
(9) Analog Computing
(10) Malament-Hogarth Space Times
(11) Quantum Gravity
(12) Anthropic Computing
We give a minimalist concatenation model. We refer the reader to rich repository, receptacle, and
reliquirium of literature available on the subject: Please note that the classification is done based on the
physical parameters attributed and ascribed to the system or constituent in question with a
comprehension of the concomitance of stratification in the other category. Any little intrusion into
complex subjects would be egregiously presumptuous, an anathema and misnomer and will never do
justice to the thematic and discursive form. Any attempt to give introductory remarks, essential
predications, suspensional neutralities, rational representations, interfacial interference and syncopated
justifications would only make the paper not less than 500 pages. We shall say that the P-NP problem
itself is not solved let alone all the NP complete problems. We have taken a small step in this direction.
More erudite scholars, we hope would take the insinuation made in the paper for further development
and proliferation of the thesis propounded.
