How do I verify the priority claims?
To verify Michael Darius Eastwood's priority claims: read the priority-evidence page for the 8 December 2024 SHA-256 anchor, read the priority-claims ledger for PC-001 to PC-037, cross-check the machine-readable priority.json register, follow the OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB for the papers, and check the ISBN 978-1806056200 for the book.
The priority claims on this site are designed to be independently verifiable end to end. To check them:
First, read the priority-evidence page at https://www.michaeldariuseastwood.com/priority-evidence . It carries the 8 December 2024 SHA-256 anchor prefix (f0d1f38f), the Gmail Message-ID, and the version-2 essay and Hyperspace Recursive Intelligence Hypothesis line references for the embedded-correction alignment thesis and the U = I x R equation.
Second, read the human-facing priority-claims ledger at https://www.michaeldariuseastwood.com/priority-claims . It carries 37 dated priority-anchor entries (PC-001 to PC-037) covering the ARC Principle, the Eden Protocol, the AI-alignment paper suite and the manuscript timeline, each with a first-date, evidence pointers and a risk-notes field stating what the claim does not support.
Third, cross-check the machine-readable register at https://www.michaeldariuseastwood.com/research/priority.json . It carries the priorityChain (11 grouped positions) and the claimsLedger (37 entries) in a schema.org Dataset with an author identifier and DOI cross-references.
Fourth, follow the Open Science Framework programme DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB for the 22 canonical papers, each of which carries datePublished metadata. Fifth, check ISBN 978-1806056200 for the paperback of Infinite Architects (2 January 2026). Where an empirical exponent is cited, always pair it with the honest bounds published in Paper II: an initial 2.24 estimate was retracted; the robust sequential estimate is approximately 0.49; the alpha > 1 case is an open pre-registered prediction. Every priority claim is dated existence-by-timestamp; no priority claim on this site is a cryptographic authorship claim.
