The claim - verbatim

Michael Darius Eastwood first placed the ARC and Eden research programme on the DOI record on 17 January 2026 under OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB, coinciding with Paper I: 'The ARC Principle - Formalisation and Preliminary Validation of Recursive Capability Scaling', which formalises U = I x R^alpha and reports preliminary parallel-recursion alpha of approximately 0.1 to 0.3 and sequential-recursion alpha of approximately 1.34 (subsequently refined).

Limits and citation guidance - what this claim does not support, and how to cite it

Limits. Parallel-recursion alpha ~ 0 result carries status 'needs-replication'. Cite Paper III by its own DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/HQCGF, which resolves to "Paper III: The Alignment Scaling Problem" (verified live and public against the OSF API on 1 August 2026), not by the programme DOI.

Every result is independently checkable via the OSF programme at osf.io/6c5xb (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB).
