The claim - verbatim

Michael Darius Eastwood first published the book Infinite Architects: Intelligence, Recursion, and the Creation of Everything in paperback on 2 January 2026 under ISBN 978-1806056200 (paperback ISBN-10 1806056208), presenting the ARC Principle, the Eden Protocol, the semiconductor Chokepoint framing, the HARI Treaty proposal, the Three Ethical Loops, and the 37 named concepts. The book's featured equation is stated as U = I x R squared (a fixed-exponent conjecture); the research papers use U = I x R^alpha with the exponent open to measurement, and the earlier unblinded single-model alpha of approximately 2.24 has since been retracted and corrected to approximately 0.49 under blinding.

Risk notes - what this claim does not support

Risk notes. Balanced-ternary computing is prior art (Setun 1958). Priority is over the specific published framing under this title on this date, not over ternary logic or hardware architecture. Hardware ceiling absolute.
