Yes, he invented* the algorithm. One assumes it must be.

* Corrected from 'discovered;' see below.

Invented the algorithm. The choice and arrangement of weights is a matter of fine-tuning to balance practical concerns - not some natural law of mathematics that could be figured out.

  • The algorithm, including the precious weights, can exist outside our universe. It doesn’t need matter, it only needs maths.

    Discovered is correct.

    • Bold to say anything "can exist outside our universe" as though one were in a position to know. Do you often visit the Realm of Forms?
