I've had this idea before. This guy used genetic algorithms to create a fast approximation of square root (http://multigrad.blogspot.com/2014/04/math-evolution-and-dirty-tricks.html http://multigrad.blogspot.com/2014/04/math-evolution-and-dir...). You may be able to use a similar method to generate code at run time and get around patents. You can't patent the output of an algorithm.
