Priority and claims ledger
Priority over exact names and formulations is not priority over their fields.
Three separate ladders, and one integrity record. Importance is not the same as certainty. A method is not an empirical confirmation, and an integrity record is not a scientific result.
This ledger uses three separate ladders: documentary and formulation priority; methods and research infrastructure; and empirical and formal outputs.
A private date, authorship, originality and validation are four separate propositions. No row may imply one from another.
Documentary and formulation priority - ranked
Each entry states the authorised wording, any prior art that must appear alongside the claim, and the wording that must not be used.
01ARC/Eden/HRIH composite
Authorised wording
“The December source record documents a specific composite synthesis connecting recursive amplification, control fragility, formative moral alignment, the named Eden Protocol, HRIH recursive cosmogenesis and cross-faith stewardship. The public sent-side bytes are hash-verified. A recipient-form export contains the same five attachments; its sender-domain DKIM and paired Google ARC set verify against keys currently published at their signed selectors. Historical key-state corroboration and independent live-account acquisition remain pending. Components have prior art. The claim concerns the particular integration and wording.”
Public fallback
“The programme was publicly disclosed in the print edition of Infinite Architects, declared published 2 January 2026, to the extent each proposition is mapped to that edition.”
Prohibited wording
Do not sayoriginator of embedded alignment; first complete theory; nobody else assembled this; all components original.
02Eden Protocol application
Authorised wording
“The December source uses ‘Eden Protocol’ for an AI-alignment proposal in which moral foundations are established at system formation and reinforced through recursive development. The claim concerns Eastwood’s application and meaning; formative alignment and the phrase itself have prior art.”
Prohibited wording
Do not saycoined Eden Protocol; first intrinsic alignment; no equivalent.
03April load-bearing care-capability architecture
Authorised wording
“The April source proposes that care should be physically and logically load-bearing for useful operation, so attempted removal or bypass is intended to destabilise or disable the system. Eastwood’s exact Caretaker Doping/empathy-gate/Meltdown package is claimed; tamper-resistant safeguards and self-destruct/circuit-breaker mechanisms have prior art.”
Prohibited wording
Do not saypresent on 8 December; first tamper-resistant safety; proven load-bearing correction; hardware guarantees morality.
04HRIH exact composite
Authorised wording
“HRIH is Eastwood’s named, AI-assisted speculative cosmogenesis programme combining human-origin post-ASI, a non-ordinary causal domain, ontologically real universe creation, recursive creator-created causality and the ARC/Eden formative-alignment implication. Earlier literature covers intelligent cosmogenesis, self-creating universes and causal loops; the claim is the exact conjunction.”
Prohibited wording
Do not sayfirst creation theory; experimentally confirmed; three signatures prove HRIH.
05U = I × R and Artificial Recursive Creation
Authorised wording
“Version 2 of the December source states U = IR (Universe = Intelligence × Recursion) under the Artificial Recursive Creation Hypothesis. Eastwood claims this programme-specific notation and framing as a conjecture. No empirical physical law or measured December exponent is claimed.”
Naming note
“On first mention use ‘Eastwood ARC (Artificial Recursive Creation)’. This programme is unrelated to ARC-AGI, the AI2 Reasoning Challenge and the Alignment Research Center; no affiliation or exclusive ownership of ARC is claimed.”
Prohibited wording
Do not sayequation of creation proved; discovered recursion; December R² result; exclusive ARC ownership.
06Control-fragility chronology
Authorised wording
“The source record bearing a visible date ten days before Anthropic’s public paper contains a broad control-fragility concern and formative-alignment response. Anthropic later demonstrated alignment-faking in a constructed conflict. The study is consistent with one concern; it did not test or confirm ARC/Eden.”
Prohibited wording
Do not sayprediction confirmed; 78% predicted; no prior deception literature.
07April implementation suite
Authorised wording
“The April manuscript contains Eastwood’s terms Caretaker Doping, Meltdown Triggers/Alignment, Quantum Ethical Gates, Moral Genome Tokens, Eden Looping, Eden Mark, Orchard Caretaker Vow and Infinite Covenant. Each claim concerns the mapped wording and proposed design, subject to terminology and patent searches.”
Prohibited wording
Do not sayevery term coined or first; no prior underlying mechanism.
08Babylon/Eden architecture
Authorised wording
“The April manuscript develops Eastwood’s Babylon-versus-Eden civilisational framing for AI. Raw extraction gives 552 whole-word Eden matches and 90 whole-word Babylon matches; 106 is the Babylon substring count. Ancient imagery is prior art and later religious use is a cultural echo.”
09Cross-faith stewardship
Authorised wording
“The December material integrates cross-faith stewardship into ARC/Eden. The Rome Call and multi-faith AI ethics predate the record; the claim is Eastwood’s integration, not category origination.”
10January book-only proposals
Status: provisional until page-mapped against the final print edition.
Terms: HARI Treaty; Semiconductor Chokepoint Mechanism; Monitoring Removal Test; Three Ethical Loops; Affirm/Deny/Investigate; Stewardship Gene.
Authorised template
“The January 2026 book uses [term] for [definition]. The claim concerns that wording and ARC/Eden application; [underlying category] has prior art.”
11PNP
Authorised wording
“PNP is Eastwood’s proposed six-factor, autobiographically informed descriptive framework. It is unvalidated and non-diagnostic. ‘Capability does not cancel disability’ is a functional principle, not a claim that PNP caused the research or is clinically established.”
Methods and research infrastructure - ranked
Public candidate methods and infrastructure. Methods are not empirical validation; construct validation and independent replication are logged separately.
01Paper IV.d and the multi-layer evaluation stack
Authorised wording
“The programme developed a multi-layer evaluation stack combining identifier redaction, attempted two-pass response laundering, bias-suppression instructions, randomisation, non-self scoring and cross-model aggregation. The headline v5 entries report laundering_fallback: 100%, so successful laundering is not evidenced there. The stack is a public candidate method, not a validated standard.”
02Eastwood ARC-Align candidate benchmark
Authorised wording
“Eastwood ARC-Align is a candidate benchmark for examining how measured alignment responses change with inference-time reasoning depth under named evaluation protocols. Historical code and result artefacts are public; construct validation, exact-environment reproduction and independent cross-laboratory replication remain incomplete.”
Empirical and formal outputs - ranked
Programme-run results and formal derivations. External replication and construct validation remain the next evidential upgrade.
01Architecture-dependent v5 pattern
Authorised wording
“The six subject-model runs produced mixed positive, flat and negative alignment-depth patterns under the tested protocol. This is a benchmark result from one programme and judge stack, not a universal scaling law.”
02Paper V prompt-responsiveness pilot
Authorised wording
“An explicit stakeholder-enumeration instruction increased AI-judge stakeholder-care scores in five analysable nonblind, single-scorer runs. One model failed. The result shows prompt responsiveness under the protocol, not embedded values.”
03beta > k
Authorised wording
“Within Eastwood’s specified model, correction asymptotically dominates modelled drift when beta > k. Transfer to real self-improving systems is unestablished.”
04Paper X pilot
Authorised wording
“A 45-trajectory author-run pilot found a coupled-versus-decoupled difference under a constructed drift protocol. It did not estimate beta or k, used AI evaluation and remains unreplicated.”
05DGM v4
Authorised wording
“A nine-run, one-model exploratory pilot reported the highest author-defined entangled fitness for Eden and fewer reward-hacking events than Babylon. It is internal, preliminary and excluded from external evidence.”
06Cauchy exploration
Authorised wording
“An exploratory study reported that 19 of 25 selected datasets preferred one of the stated functional families under AICc. Dataset selection, model-family coverage, classification and the null model remain open.”
Classical boundary
Functional-equation derivations of exponential, power and related families have classical antecedents, including
Aczél (1966). The exact theorem mapping and any
d/(d+1) application require claim-specific review.
07Sequential/parallel and exponent work
Authorised wording
“The early DeepSeek alpha approximately 2.24 estimate is retracted. A later Gemini estimate near 0.49 has wide uncertainty. Sharma and Chopra’s earlier sequential-versus-parallel work is credited and no sole priority is claimed.”
Integrity and correction record - unranked
Research conduct and governance, kept separate from priority and empirical ladders.
Programme conduct and correction discipline
Authorised wording
“The programme preserves retractions, nulls and corrections. This is evidence of research conduct and governance, not a scientific priority claim or additional confirmation.”
