NoteThe source confirms the funder (Foresight Institute), prize name (Feynman Prize — Theory), amount ($5,000), and date context (1998 is within the historical period covered). However, the specific grantees (Ralph C. Merkle, Stephen Walch) cannot be verified from this source because the 'Previous winners' section only begins with 2003 and does not include 1998 winners. The claim about the specific recipients in 1998 is therefore unverifiable from the provided source text.
