I was just trying to challenge me as in a video i was watching the it said that the way CLIQUE <= SAT is easy to show. Constructing a NTM is easy indeed! I was just trying to exercise my reduction skills!
Aug 13, 2019 at 14:24 comment added dkaeae Also note that, although not very enlightening, you can achieve what you want by constructing an NTM for clique and then using the construction from the Cook-Levin theorem on said NTM. This might be the fastest (or laziest) way of obtaining the reduction.
Aug 13, 2019 at 14:21 comment added dkaeae Is there a particular reason you are trying to reduce clique to SAT and not the other way around? Assuming your goal is establishing NP-completeness of clique, usually one proves it by showing clique is in NP (a rather trivial matter) followed by establishing a reduction from 3SAT to clique (using appropriate graph gadgets).
