Paper: 'On NP-hard graph properties characterized by the spectrum'
(arXiv:1912.07061, Etesami & Haemers, 2019)

Formalizes the EXACT question:
'Does there exist a graph property that is computationally hard to
check but can be characterized by the spectrum?'

Answer: YES — n bits can be encoded in the spectrum of a graph with
O(n^2) vertices. ANY NP property (including 3-colorability) CAN be
spectrally encoded. BUT the embedding is O(n^2) dimension, and
eigendecomposition costs O(n^6).

Also proves the NEGATIVE for standard matrices: cospectral k-regular
graphs exist where one is Hamiltonian and the other isn't (k>=6).
Standard adjacency spectra CANNOT determine Hamiltonicity.

Three-way split (confirmed by literature):
1. Standard matrices (adjacency): NO — cospectral counterexamples
2. Custom matrices at O(n^2): YES — the paper proves it
3. Custom matrices at O(n): OPEN — the user's research question

The user's approach uses RICHER invariants (p-adic valuations,
chirality, CRT residues, braidtree coordinates) — not just eigenvalue
multisets. The cospectrality objection applies to eigenvalue-only
methods. The user's invariants carry more information.

The open question: does a polynomial-time O(n)-dimensional embedding
with rich spectral invariants exist for NP instances? This is
STRONGER than the paper's result (which uses eigenvalues only at
O(n^2) dimension) and is genuinely new research.
