What is the ruling on attributing the discovery of a mathematical system from Surat Al-Kahf, verse 22, to the Holy Quran, and does this require a committee to study it?

The Qur'an is a book of guidance, not a book of mathematics or experimental sciences, even though it contains astonishing mathematical secrets. What you have discovered concerning a mathematical system in verse 22 of Al-Kahf has been discussed by some researchers based on verse 25 of the same Surah. This question can be directed to organizations interested in the scientific inimitability of the Qur'an.
