Independent research atlas
Ararat
Petrosyan
Researcher, editor, and independent scholar working across historical memory, conflict systems, digital cartography, computational complexity, and source-aware data systems.
A research identity built around one problem: how truth survives inside complex systems. The site is structured as an atlas command center: wars, memory, conflict, mobility, humanitarian evidence, and public data systems are treated as connected territories.
27 public research interfaces
500,370 war atlas records
419,163 conflict source rows
4 working languages
AP public atlas system
Working maps, live atlases, historical GIS, mobility systems, risk layers, and evidence rooms.
The front page now opens directly into the atlas: every card below is a working public map or research interface in the Ararat Petrosyan map system.

Research atlas
A personal institute organized as a map.
Ararat Petrosyan is an Armenian researcher and editor working across history, conflict dynamics, geopolitical systems, digital cartography, theoretical computer science, and research data infrastructure. His work connects historical memory with formal reasoning, combining archival interpretation, regional analysis, interactive mapping, source-aware data pipelines, and independent inquiry into computational complexity.
The visual language of this site follows the work itself: routes, borders, evidence points, archives, data signals, and formal structures. It is not a conventional landing page; it is a navigable research landscape.
Academic trust layer
Readable first, verifiable second, citable third.
Secondary research labs
Formal complexity and script-analysis projects remain available, but the public front page now leads with the atlas system.
P != NP dossier
Complexity Lab
Interactive visualizations for SAT, compressibility, diagonal exclusion, and proof-structure review.

Research territories
Four connected directions, one atlas logic.
Ottoman and post-Ottoman historical geography, genocide documentation, Armenian memory, archives, and heritage records.
South Caucasus security, Armenia and Azerbaijan, peace indices, terrorism indicators, ecological threats, and strategic pressure.
SAT, solution spaces, diagonalization, incompressibility, and the boundary between finding truth and verifying truth.
AI-assisted source triage, public-data pipelines, anomaly review, map interfaces, and reproducible research operations.
Map rooms
Four rooms, one intellectual geography.
The Memory Room
Greek Genocide mapping, Ottoman-Turkish historical space, massacres, displacement, and evidence organized through geography.
The Caucasus Room
Armenia, Azerbaijan, peace indicators, political terror, displacement, militarization, and the architecture of regional insecurity.
The Complexity Room
SAT, P versus NP, compressibility, self-reference, diagonal construction, and the formal difference between search and verification.
The Systems Room
AI-assisted extraction, public datasets, source ranking, anomaly review, reproducible pipelines, and interfaces that make complex evidence legible.
Evidence infrastructure
AI belongs here as disciplined research infrastructure.
The site uses the AI theme precisely: as a way to organize extraction, source triage, anomaly review, dataset normalization, and public interfaces for complex evidence. The intellectual center remains the source, the map, the argument, and the review trail.
