Context
The structured powering circuit may be easier than a general arithmetic circuit, but the current work proves only a one-way reduction to EquSLP.
Proof or evidence
No reverse reduction or deterministic hitting set was constructed. A fixed polynomial list of primes is unsound because a nonzero term may be divisible by all of them.
Verification notes
The boundary separates randomized decision, nondeterministic certificates, compact representation, and deterministic decision.
Limitations
- A bounded literature search cannot certify universal novelty or open status.
