NP-hardness is not an absolute property of problems, but rather a property relative to the computational substrate. In the UNNS framework, problems that appear exponentially complex in classical computation can collapse to polynomial complexity through recursive embedding and normalization.
1. Recursive Embedding: Problems are mapped into nested lattice structures
2. Repair Operations: Identify and merge equivalent states
3. Normalization: Collapse exponential branches into polynomial attractors
4. Verification: Check solutions in the collapsed space
Given a problem P with classical complexity O(2^n), the UNNS transformation:
T: P → L → N → A
where L is the lattice embedding, N is the normalized form, and A is the attractor set with |A| = O(n^k).
