Abstract

This paper puts forward a computationally-based notion of proof and explores its implications to computation at large. In particular, given a random oracle or a suitable cryptographic assumption, we show that every computation possesses a short certificate vouching its correctness, and that, under a cryptographic assumption, any program for a /spl Nscr//spl Pscr/-complete problem is checkable in polynomial time. In addition, our work provides the beginnings of a theory of computational complexity that is based on "individual inputs" rather than languages.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
