What would $\mathcal{P} \neq \mathcal{NP}$ tell us about some non-constructive proofs?

I think the important distinction that may illuminate your question is between a proof that a particular instance $(W,L)$ belongs to the language TSP, and a proof that a particular algorithm for TSP i …

This might be more of an analogy, but major complexity conjectures like P=NP could be considered related. Background: a common "complete" problem for a specified time limit is: given a Turing machine, …
