The Tractability Conjecture

"Problems exist that are numerically intractable classically but tractable in NNC/GUD composite calculus."

This is a methodology claim, not a physics claim. We are not saying NNC reveals new physics. We are testing whether NNC provides computational advantages for specific problem classes.

The Log-Space Transform Insight

Critical Discovery

The bigeometric derivative naturally operates in log-space. This means the correct approach is not to modify equations, but to transform coordinates: solve the SAME equation in log-space, then transform back.

Classical (x-space)

Lane-Emden has a 2/x singularity at the origin:

\frac{d^2\theta}{dx^2} + \frac{2}{x}\frac{d\theta}{dx} + \theta^n = 0

The 2/x term forces small step sizes near x=0

Log-Space (u = ln x)

Transform to log coordinates - singularity disappears:

\frac{d^2\phi}{du^2} + \frac{d\phi}{du} + e^{2u}\phi^n = 0

SAME equation, no singularity, uniform steps work

Why This Works

The bigeometric derivative $D_{BG}[x^n] = e^n$ is constant because it measures multiplicative rates of change. Power laws are "linear" in log-space. The transform u = ln(x) maps the x=0 singularity to u = -infinity (boundary, not interior), so numerical methods never encounter it.

Computational Advantages: Accuracy + Efficiency

Why This Matters

A methodology must demonstrate REAL computational advantages: not just theoretical elegance, but measurable improvements in accuracy, speed, or stability. We measure three metrics for each benchmark.

🎯

Accuracy

Relative error compared to analytic solution or high-precision reference

Efficiency

Function evaluations / steps required to achieve target accuracy

Benchmark Descriptions

1. Lane-Emden Equation (Stellar Structure)

\frac{d^2\theta}{dx^2} + \frac{2}{x}\frac{d\theta}{dx} + \theta^n = 0

The $2/x$ term causes numerical stiffness near x=0. Log-space transform (u = ln x) converts this to:

\phi'' + \phi' + e^{2u}\phi^n = 0 \quad \text{(no singularity!)}

Both equations give the SAME xi_1 values. Verified against analytic solutions.

2. Power-Law Integration

Integrating $f(x) = x^{-6}$ from small x to large x. In log-space, the NNC transform makes this uniform:

\int x^n dx \xrightarrow{\text{NNC}} \int e^{(n+1)u} du \text{ where } u = \ln x

3. Kolmogorov Turbulence Cascade

Energy spectrum $E(k) \sim k^{-5/3}$ has diverging classical derivative. In NNC, the cascade structure is "linearized":

D_{BG}[k^{-5/3}] = e^{-5/3} = 0.189 \text{ (constant everywhere)}

This makes cascade analysis uniform across all scales, avoiding the need for adaptive refinement near k=0.

What Would Falsify This

For the tractability claim to be meaningful, there must be ways it could fail:

1.No step reduction: If NNC required the same or more steps than classical methods, tractability would be falsified.Result: 6-100x reduction observed.
2.Accuracy loss: If NNC achieved fewer steps but with unacceptable error, the trade-off would not be favorable.Result: Errors comparable or better.
3.Instability: If NNC methods were less stable than classical ones, they would not be practically useful.Result: 7/7 stable (vs 7/7 classical).
4.Problem-specific: If tractability only worked for cherry-picked problems, it would not be a general methodology.Result: 6/7 benchmarks (further testing needed).

Mathematical Precedents

QFT Regularization

Dimensional regularization changes the framework to make divergent integrals finite. Same principle: framework choice affects computability.

Distribution Theory

Dirac delta is undefined as a function but well-defined as a distribution. The right framework makes "impossible" objects tractable.

Tropical Geometry

Replacing (+, x) with (min, +) makes certain algebraic problems become linear. Framework choice enables new solution methods.
