Eden Engineering: public research note Michael Darius Eastwood · Independent AI alignment researcher Published 22 February 2026 Michael Darius Eastwood · Historical research record · Updated 14 July 2026 The greatly expanded Eden Engineering working specification and its rendered PDF were withdrawn from current circulation on 14 July 2026 pending disclosure review. What remains public The Eden research programme asks whether safety properties can remain effective as recursively improving systems become more capable, and distinguishes developmental alignment from constraints applied only at the boundary. Why this page remains This non-enabling note preserves a truthful historical and authorship record. It contains no implementation detail. Withdrawal does not erase access that may already have occurred and does not retract empirical results published separately.
