Question
[one-way-functions-exist] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Do one-way functions exist?. Statement: Prove that one-way functions exist (equivalently, that there is a cryptographic hardness in NP), or that they do not. If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
