What happened to the algorithm at the end of the movie?
At the end of Tenet, Ives breaks the algorithm into three parts and splits them between the three of them. Again Neil gives his part back to the protagonist before joining Ives, while Ives takes away his part with him. Any reason behind why Neil didn't take his part with him? And what happened to the part of Ives and the protagonist? Were they destroyed later or hidden?
If it was so important to keep the parts of the algorithm apart and well hidden, then why they didn't destroy the algorithm. I have seen this question and other discussion sites where they say that the future generation can go back in time and stop the destruction of algorithm. Well if that is true, then they can go back to prevent the protagonist from saving the world also, isn't it logical? Everything the protagonist do can be stopped by the future generation.
So what do they do to secure the parts of the algorithm? Is it possible to keep it safe at all?
Best Answer
The pieces are continuously carried into the past by Tenet, which eventually manages to invert, separate and hide all 9 sections in nuclear storage facilities as stated by Priya during the Oslo contact, with the future antagonists recognising that the only moment they would become vulnerable would be during the collapse of the USSR. With regards to who physically takes responsibility for this we only know that Neil is not involved as he dies, only that Tenet seems to achieve this collectively with TP's guidance.
The future antagonists can attempt to chase them if they wish but as they can only travel backwards in time at the same pace time moves forward, they are safe as the antagonists will never be able to catch up with them as they continue to maintain the time separation despite the inversions.

What happens to the algorithm in Tenet?
At the end of the film, the Protagonist and a Tenet operative named Ives (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) divide the Algorithm again between themselves. Initially, Ives wants to kill both the Protagonist and Neil (Robert Pattinson), unaware that Neil is about to head to his death in the past, anyway.Why does Sator want to bury the algorithm?
Sator had buried the algorithm under bombs in his Soviet former hometown, now a closed city, which would be triggered by the dead man's switch in his fitness tracker if he died. If this were to happen, the algorithm would be activated, changing the entropy of the world so powerfully that it would end all life.How was Sator going to end the world?
The villain has managed to bring together nine parts of an Algorithm, sent to him from the future by a mysterious evil group. In short: if Sator dies, his heart-rate monitor will drop to zero, and that will set-off the Algorithm, which will end the entire world.How did Sator get the algorithm Tenet?
He then drives off and enters the car chase. The algorithm then jumps up from somewhere and flies into the BMW, which is how we know he threw it in there in forward time. He then crashes the car, and Sator catches up with him and sets it on fire.The nightmare videos of childrens' YouTube — and what's wrong with the internet today | James Bridle
