He explains the philosophy of his algorithm—not just compression, but a new way of thinking about data: “middle-out compression.” He accidentally reveals that Pied Piper can achieve a Weissman Score (a compression quality metric) that is off the charts — 2.89, a score so high it breaks the scale.

As they sit in stunned silence, Richard looks at his laptop. He has nothing left but the algorithm—the perfect, world-changing piece of code. He smiles grimly and says: Big Head, who has no idea what’s happening, is thrilled
