All 28 programme documents
The 28 documents in canonical order, each with every public format: the readable page, the PDF, the plain-text source, the citation file, the OSF record and the code. Deposit dates are not creation dates; the priority record is anchored separately and independently checkable.
The empirical alignment series · Papers I to XIII
The statement paper: the whole claim in one document, law before value, with the dated record, the concessions and the refutation conditions.
The founding paper of the proposed field: five state variables, three laws as named conjectures, the ARC Ceiling derived in full, twelve hosts tried…
This paper formalises and preliminarily tests the ARC Principle (Artificial Recursive Creation), first proposed in Infinite Architects (Eastwood…
This paper presents experimental validation of the ARC Principle across multiple frontier AI models (Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok, Groq Qwen, GPT)…
This paper reports alignment scaling exponents statistically indistinguishable from zero on the systems measured, which would mean safety degrading…
This paper presents evidence that frontier language models fall into distinct alignment response classes when inference-time reasoning depth is…
This paper analyses the relationship between inference-time reasoning depth and ethical reasoning quality using the ARC Alignment Scaling…
This paper presents ARC-Align, a blind benchmark for evaluating AI alignment quality as a function of inference-time reasoning depth. Current…
One apparent positive result went flat, another turned negative, a third held flat, when blinding and other protocol components changed together.
This paper presents empirical evidence from a six-model Eden Protocol intervention suite (Claude Opus, DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, Grok Fast, Groq Qwen…
Simulation evidence that embedding safety inside the optimisation objective of a self-modifying system (capability multiplied by safety, the honey…
Cauchy's four functional equations -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are the only continuous solutions to their respective…
The assumption that AI safety imposes a capability tax has shaped alignment research for a decade. It has also created the single most dangerous…
The synthesis paper for the ARC/Eden research programme. The synthesis paper for the programme; integrates the papers that precede it into a single…
The coupled co-scaling correction for keeping AI systems inside a safe corrective envelope.
A dated, graded convergence record across AI, quantum computing, hardware, doctrine and mathematics; every row carries its primary source and grade…
Within the ARC Theory: the external-validity protocol of the blinding law on public benchmarks.
A derivation, not a measurement: the notation collision resolved and the measurable threshold joining recursive capability growth to correction.
Working paper v1.1: the ARC programme's forward predictions assembled as one dated, verifiable chain, with the ensemble doctrine, the graded book…
A blinded and unblinded rescoring of an established public benchmark, with the design drafted in advance. Public on OSF; its page here awaits a publication ruling, and no confirmatory data has been collected.
Held at watchability level: recorded in the registered programme, details appear at registration.
Supporting papers
Shorter documents that support a paper of the programme and cite it for their claims. Each carries its own DOI and states which paper it supports.
The whole claim in one sitting: question, five claims, the three ARC Laws graded, dates, kill conditions, retraction and invitation.
Beside the series
Distinct axes alongside the empirical series: the cognitive profile behind the work, and the original speculative hypothesis, preserved and dated.
Paper C: a falsifiable descriptive framework for radical cognitive asymmetry, the Capability-Adjustment Fallacy, a documented live case across…
Labelled speculation, held apart from the argument and severable from it: where does recursive self-improvement end? A testable creation theory: if…
Supporting frameworks
In the past eighteen months, at least four independent research programmes have discovered that recursive or recurrent processing produces capability…
A mouse's heart beats 600 times per minute; an elephant's beats 28; a blue whale's beats 6. This paper traces the origin of scaling laws across…
Every engineering project begins with requirements. Every set of requirements begins with purpose. And every purpose, traced back far enough, arrives…
Withdrawn from circulation on 14 July 2026 pending disclosure review. A withdrawal notice is retained at the canonical address.
As AI gets smarter, it does not reliably get safer, and the methods used to measure safety are themselves unreliable. This executive summary provides…
This document provides a master table of contents, reading guide, timeline, key results summary, and glossary for the complete ARC Principle paper…
