What can be imagined is what can be discovered.

The etymology of invent has the terms 'contrived' and 'discover' baked in. if we take the contrived root, rather than just dead-ending to say that invent is synonymous with discover, we find that it is rooted in the ability to 'compare' and 'imagine'. From this we can then formulate the opening statement.
