To be blunt, I'm not sure. I've spoken with the head of computing at my nearest university and he seems quite excited by it. We may publish a joint paper - not least it will give him an Erdos Number of 3. Failing publication, I'll just write it up, put it on my web site, and announce it in a few place.

What ever happens, I will announce it here for sure.

Haha funny I think I've invented a new fundemental data structure as well. Hopefully we haven't all three invented the same one! Mine is going into proprietary software; I don't know if I'll write a paper over it. It doesn't allow you to do anything you couldn't do before, but it takes the best and worst case performance of a well known data structure and reverses the two. So it's useful in places where the other structure would perform poorly.

Good luck with yours, both of you.
