In the last time, several efforts have been made in order to remove polarizations of membranes from P systems with active membranes; the present paper is a contribution in this respect. In order to compensate the loss of power represented by avoiding polarizations, we use bi-stable catalysts. Polarizationless systems with active membranes which use bi-stable catalysts are proven to be computationally complete and able to solve efficiently NP-complete problems. In this paper we present a solution to SAT in linear time. In order to illustrate the presented solution, we also provide a simulation with CLIPS.
