    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The intersection NP ∩ coNP is a syntactic complexity class defined relative to a fixed computational model; FACTORIZATION as a decision problem (does n have a factor ≤ k?) differs structurally from the search problem, and membership claims must specify which formulation is at issue.

    Theoretical complexity classes abstract away from computational models precisely to identify model-independent properties; emphasizing syntactic model-dependence undermines their utility.

    Key Terms

    Abstract away from(general philosophical and scientific methodology)
    To ignore or remove unnecessary details in order to focus on the most important features of something.
    Computational models(as used in computer science)
    Theoretical frameworks that describe how computers process information and solve problems, used to understand what's possible to calculate.
    Model-independent properties(mathematics and computer science)
    Characteristics or features that remain true regardless of which specific system, framework, or method you use to describe them.
    Syntactic model-dependence(logic and computer science)
    The idea that the formal structure or written rules of something are tied to and change depending on which specific system you're using to represent it.

    utility(Mill's qualification distinguishing his conception of utility from narrower hedonistic or preference-based interpretations.)
    Utility in the largest sense, grounded on the permanent interests of man as a progressive being — not mere immediate pleasure or preference satisfaction.
