Does Michael Darius Eastwood have scientific priority?

Two different things get called priority, and this record claims exactly one of them. Priority here is a claim about a formulation and the date it was first stated in public, never about the underlying mathematics, and every entry names the earlier work its own search found. On that definition the record is 41 individually dated ledger rows and 29 first-publication anchors between 8 December 2024 and 16 August 2026, each with evidence pointers and a stated boundary.

The other kind of priority is recognition by a field, and none of it is claimed. Peer-reviewed citations to date are zero, recorded as a dated fact rather than softened. Priority is established by the date of publication, not by credential or affiliation, and the site asks nobody to rely on institutional reputation.

Every row credits its ancestor by name. The orthogonality intuition goes to Bostrom in 2012. The matched-compute sequential result goes to Sharma and Chopra, arXiv:2511.02309, 4 November 2025, whose publication precedes the formalisation here by about two and a half months and who must be cited whenever the claim is used. Balanced-ternary computing goes to Setun in 1958. Value-embedded training goes to Constitutional AI in 2022.

And the defeat conditions are printed. One document predating 8 December 2024 containing the control-failure thesis, the embedded-alignment solution and the recursion equation together ends the first arrangement. One work stating the argument from multiplicative composition, space-filling and conservation ends the second. The correction route for producing either is published, and the register is machine-readable at /research/priority.json.
