Not to distract from the clearly good technical work you've done here, but why name it Bolt when there's a Fintech startup with the same name. Among other brand confusion issues (Like the Chevy Bolt).

I named it this in 2017 and was only worried about name collisions with other GitHub repos and ML algorithms. Also it's a backronym for Based On Lookup Tables + sounds at least somewhat evocative of going fast, so it was the best name for an algorithm I could come up with.
