The Sorites Paradox is an old Greek thought-experiment. We start with two grains of sand. This, clearly, is not a heap of sand. If we add a single grain, it is still not a heap. But after thousands of grains, you have to ignore the fact that one grain ago you didn't call it a heap, and look at the big freaking heap in front of you. This concept applies to lots of things, from police states, to boiling frogs, to lame blogs (One post doesn't make this blog lame!)

What have you invented?
Well, technically, I've invented a method for constrained inversion of seismic refraction data using the controlled random search algorithm, and some methods for filtering terrain data.
It's not stuff that should be patentable, but the USPTO is so dysfunctional that I could probably not only patent it, but wreak economic havoc with patent-infringement lawsuits.
I love it when you get all sciency. (Which is my way of saying that I didn't really understand all of that "constrained inversion" stuff but it sounds really cool.) :P
