I think there might be a way to solve all n-SAT problems (if reformulated using conjunctive normal form) in O(C) best up to worst O(C * N * N) time and O(C * N) space (C = number of AND-clauses, N = number of distinct literals from all clauses). would that still be polynomial and a valid proof or even possible (not a mathematician I am)? on the other hand, proving P = NP would not be wise, morally seen, would it?
