The claim - verbatim
Michael Darius Eastwood first published Infinite Architects in paperback (with its Willow passages and multiverse framing) on 2 January 2026. The BBC then broadcast Hartmut Neven of Google Quantum AI on Willow and parallel universes on 7 January 2026 in the Faisal Islam segment - a convergent public-record event five days after the paperback, not a causal or predictive claim. Priority for the broadcast content belongs to the BBC and Hartmut Neven; priority for the underlying Willow QEC result belongs to Google Quantum AI.
