The unresolved issue under consideration is whether \(\text{P}=\text{NP}\) and/or its negation is consistent with, say, ZFC. This paper surveys, comments upon, and sometimes reformulates work that has been done on this topic over the last thirty years. Particular attention is given to contributions of da~Costa and Doria themselves.
