This page is the canonical citation manual for the ARC and Eden research programme by Michael Darius Eastwood: how to cite the book, the 28 programme documents research/papers/register.json holds, the priority dataset, the priority claims ledger, the concept register, and the programme DOI. Every string on this page is generated by scripts/build-citations.mjs from committed canonical data; nothing is hand-fabricated. If you need the machine-readable feed, use citations.json.
Priority is established by date of publication, not by credential or affiliation. Do not phrase your citation as a claim of invention over prior work; ternary logic is Setun (1958), and only the specific named application framings claim priority. Anchors: book ISBN 978-1806056200 (2 January 2026), OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB (17 January 2026), 8 December 2024 self-emailed manuscript (SHA-256 prefix f0d1f38f), 30 April 2025 Eden Protocol naming (SHA-256 prefix 09f5b5e1).
Which format to use
Inline - a compact "(Eastwood, YEAR)" reference for prose.
APA (author-date, 7th edition) - the reference-list form.
BibTeX - ready to paste into a .bib file. Every entry uses a stable citation key derived from the artefact id.
For a claim indexed in the Priority and Claims Ledger, cite the ledger and the underlying artefact together, so the reader can walk from the named claim back to the dated evidence.
