"On December 8, 2024 — ten days before Anthropic confirmed the structural vulnerability at 78% in the RL-training condition — I self-emailed a manuscript through Google's servers proposing the ARC Principle, the Eden Protocol, and a falsifiable creation theory. 29 convergences. Cryptographic evidence."

Pilot experiment — 6 July 2026: DGM v4. Three independent seeds, 20 generations, 10 trade-off tasks. Eden matched Babylon on capability and mean entangled fitness within noise (0.2617 vs 0.2609), with fewer reward hacks (16 vs 19). Single-model-family evidence; independent frontier-model replication needed.
