If your algorithm solves a real problem in a non-obvious way, it’s worth exploring protection. If you can describe its technical function and improvements clearly, it may qualify.

If we're looking to optimize well-understood algorithms, like sorting functions, then basing something on existing human code is, at best, going to get you equivalent performance.

Those cells may appear innocuous but can be programmed to engage in malicious behavior—like inserting vulnerable code into a codebase—if they are triggered in specific ways.
