Michael Darius Eastwood is an independent researcher and author based in London. Author of Infinite Architects: Intelligence, Recursion, and the Creation of Everything (ISBN 978-1-80605-620-0) and principal investigator on the ARC / Eden research programme (OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB). His work spans AI safety, embedded-correction alignment, semiconductor governance, and the philosophy of recursive intelligence. His December 2024 record placed a control-fragility concern on the public record ten days before Anthropic’s alignment-faking paper measured a specific mechanism inside that concern; convergent timing, not prediction. A typed convergence register grades each dated arrival per row against the framework and links every row to its primary source; independent replication remains outstanding.

Michael Darius Eastwood is an independent researcher and author based in London. Two decades building systems in the music industry taught him how recursive amplification behaves: how positive feedback loops compound, why the shape of a system determines its trajectory, and how small structural choices propagate into large outcomes. During those years he placed his clients in Rolling Stone, The Times, and the BBC.

His research programme, the ARC / Eden research programme (OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB), formalises the observation that measurable capability grows as a product of input intelligence and recursive depth. The programme is anchored in a self-emailed manuscript from 8 December 2024 (SHA-256 prefix f0d1f38f) that placed the embedded-correction alignment thesis on the public record.

He is the author of Infinite Architects: Intelligence, Recursion, and the Creation of Everything, presenting 37 named concepts. He has represented himself in complex legal proceedings as a litigant-in-person. He is based in London and writes in British English.

A London independent researcher has proposed a fourth answer-class for physics’ oldest asymmetry. The fine-tuning debate has run for decades between chance, anthropic selection and design; the incubator frame (academic register: maker-selection) proposes that universes are selected for the ability to raise minds, which requires an arrow of time, because learning is a before-to-after process and nothing anywhere compounds without one. On this frame, Penrose’s famous one part in 10¹⁰¹²³, the precision of our universe’s low-entropy start, stops being an unexplained embarrassment and becomes the purchase price of the nursery, and three mysteries from three subfields (why time exists, why the entropy started so low, why these constants) collapse into one constraint with printed kill conditions. The claim is graded speculative by its own author, every component is sixty-year-established physics, and the whole chain of coinage is timestamped to the Bitcoin blockchain the night it was made.

The tagline, dated:

Receipts, dated sentences and verification steps: the aphorisms register; the full hypothesis with its kill conditions: the recursive-creation page.

The standing invitation: the author publishes, on the page itself, exactly what would kill the idea, and invites the attempt. A theory that prints its own death conditions and dates every sentence is a story whether it survives or not.
