The P-Completeness of Inverted Index Traversal: On the Complexity of Evaluating Boolean Query DAGs
Modern AI agents increasingly rely on search infrastructure to execute complex, neuro-symbolic reasoning workflows. These workflows often compile into deeply nested, non-monotonic Boolean queries over text fields. However, standard query evaluation strategies over inverted indices face severe theoretical limits when handling these structures. Stateful iterator models (Document-at-a-Time) are structurally bounded...

Why it matters
The development may change operating conditions or market expectations around AI. Further confirmation and measurable outcomes matter.
