We prove that an omega-categorical core structure primitively positively interprets all finite structures with parameters if and only if some stabilizer of its polymorphism clone has a homomorphism to the clone of projections, and that this happens if and only if its polymorphism clone does not contain operations alpha,beta, s satisfying the identity alpha s(x, y, x, z, y, z) approximate to beta s( y, x, z, x, z, y). This establishes an algebraic criterion equivalent to the conjectured boderline between P and NP-complete CSPs over reducts of finitely bounded homogenous structures, and accomplishes one of the steps of a proposed strategy for reducing the infinite domain CSP dichotomy conjecture to the finite case.

Our theorem is also of independent mathematical interest, characterizing a topological property of any omega-categorical core structure (the existence of a continuous homomorphism of a stabilizer of its polymorphism clone to the projections) in purely algebraic terms (the failure of an identity as above).
