I made a serious intuitive-logical mistake in my 3-SAT solver. The first stage of fixing the error looks like it will be easy. The second stage of the repair looks like it will be very difficult but I think the plan may still be feasible.
Matt asked me why I thought that I could solve this problem when so many other people have not been able to. I responded by saying that I was able to acknowledge my mistakes. We all make mistakes but it is another thing to be able to recognize it and react strongly to an error that was partially or fully your own. There are other reasons why I think I may be able to solve this problem when so many smart people have not been able to: I am not everyone else. I am an individual and I may have some mathematical peculiarities which allow me to look at the problem a little differently. I still believe that there is a slight possibility that the Lord let me know, indirectly, that I had a plan that would work. (I am not certain of that, I only said that there was a slight possibility.) Finally I have discovered something that is new to me and very surprising. I can't tell if it is just an interesting triviality (a special case that has limited application) or if it might serve as a basis for a viable solution and a way to advance other problems. But it is worth looking into.
