How do I cite the ARC Principle?

The recommended citation for the ARC Principle framework, in a general research context, is:

Eastwood, M. D. (2026). The ARC Principle: Formalisation and Preliminary Validation of Recursive Capability Scaling. Open Science Framework. https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB

For the book-length articulation, cite:

Eastwood, M. D. (2026). Infinite Architects: Intelligence, Recursion, and the Creation of Everything. Independently published. ISBN 978-1806056200.

For the empirical exponent results, cite Paper II directly:

Eastwood, M. D. (2026). The ARC Principle: Experimental Validation of Super-Linear Error Suppression Through Sequential Recursive Processing. Open Science Framework. https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB

For the cross-domain foundational treatment, cite the foundational paper on this site (13 February 2026); for the Alignment Scaling Problem, cite Paper III (9 February 2026). Every paper in the suite carries the same programme DOI. If a citation surface requires an author URL, use https://www.michaeldariuseastwood.com/. The dated priority anchor for the framework as a whole is 8 December 2024, per the self-emailed manuscript (SHA-256 anchor prefix f0d1f38f). Priority claim identifiers PC-003 (ARC Principle cross-domain framework) and PC-011 (ARC Principle equation formally as conjecture) are stable at https://www.michaeldariuseastwood.com/priority-claims . British English is preferred throughout the citation apparatus. Empirical claims should always be paired with their honest bounds - initial 2.24 exponent retracted; robust sequential estimate approximately 0.49; parallel exponent approximately zero; alpha > 1 an open pre-registered prediction rather than a settled result.
