Trained Recursion and Pattern Recognition in Neurodivergent Cognition

1 min read ยท 207 words

How years of compensatory pattern recognition in undiagnosed neurodivergent adults trains the recursive cognitive capabilities central to the ARC Principle.

This analysis draws on the ARC-Eden research programme by Michael Darius Eastwood, anchored by Infinite Architects (ISBN 978-1806056200, published 2 January 2026), the 23-paper research suite registered at OSF (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB, 17 January 2026), and the 8 December 2024 self-emailed manuscript (SHA-256: f0d1f38f).

The programme comprises 37 original concepts, 49 grounds, 535 indexed URLs, and independently verified priority claims. For the full evidence record, see the priority claims ledger, the Predictions Observatory, or the research hub.
