The whole concept of discovered or invented feels like a trick question.
Is what you're asking is does an idea exist in or originate from nature? But even if something is invented by man, man is still a part of nature, so by extension anything "invented" by man still exists in nature.

What if a monkey discovers levers? What if an insect does? What if a bacteria does?
Bacteria have invented/discovered motors, so one could argue that since motors exist in nature, motors have to have been "discovered."
