The claim - verbatim
Michael Darius Eastwood first placed the embedded-correction alignment thesis under its specific named framing, an early U = I x R capability-scaling formulation, and the AI-control-failure passage on the public evidentiary record via a self-sent Gmail package cryptographically timestamped by Google's servers at 02:45:18 UTC on 8 December 2024, Message-ID CAGPsKAnp-DLDBOeBAh4t9XsqJBKdoe07uORGF86meoSMFnin7w, approximately 189,355 words across four attachments, SHA-256 anchor prefix f0d1f38f. This is an existence-by-date anchor, not a cryptographic authorship claim.

Risk notes - what this claim does not support
Risk notes. Google-server timestamp establishes existence-by-date, not DKIM-authenticated authorship. The manuscript identifies structural directions, not specific RL-training or experimental mechanisms. Do not phrase as 'DKIM-verified'.
