Eastwood Equation (U = I × R²) Validation
The relationship U = I × R² (Understanding = Intelligence × Recursion²) will be empirically validated through AI benchmark analysis showing quadratic scaling with recursive depth.
60% confidence
Shareable summaryThe Eastwood Equation predicts quadratic scaling with recursion. o3's performance suggests this may be correct.
Falsification criteria
- If analysis shows linear (not quadratic) scaling with recursive depth, this is falsified
- If no consistent relationship between recursion depth and capability is found, this is falsified
- Threshold: R² correlation coefficient must be >0.85 for strong support
