This essay introduces and formalizes the epistemological category of "Problem Creating", redefining the status of unsolved mathematical problems in direct opposition to classical problem solving.

The author demonstrates how these queries do not emerge from empirical observation or concrete necessity, but rather from an arbitrary and self-referential articulation of language. By detaching itself from the foundational rules of classical ontology, this specialized syntax generates entities devoid of real-world referents and irreconcilable logical paradoxes, misrepresenting semantic inconsistency as conceptual depth.

Finally, the work analyzes the sociological and economic implications of this short circuit: through commercial platforms like Amazon, the publishing and academic industries capitalize on mass information asymmetry, commodifying the "mystery" and converting ontological futility into financial profit.
