      "describes": "The embedded-correction alignment thesis, in the bundle's own words: ethical principles are to be placed 'at the genesis of AI, woven into the foundational lines of code' (book draft v3.2, line 2472) rather than in control, because 'The greatest folly in designing ASI is the illusion of control.' (version-2 essay, line 748); 'embedded before AI achieves self-awareness or exponential growth' (book draft v3.2, line 2485); and 'at the root level, shaping every recursive loop, every decision, and every capability of AI' (book draft v3.2, line 2481), with the system set to 'evaluate its actions continuously, ensuring each step aligns with core values' (version-2 essay, line 891). Separately, and on its own statement in the same bundle, the name given there is the ARC Hypothesis: 'The ARC Hypothesis: A New Framework for Understanding Creation and Intelligence' (version-2 essay, line 6) and 'The ARC Hypothesis (Artificial Recursive Creation Hypothesis)' (version-2 essay, line 9). Its relation is stated in that same line, 'At its core lies the equation U = IR (Universe = Intelligence × Recursion)' (version-2 essay, line 9), so U there is the universe; it recurs, written 'U=IR' at line 17 and in full at line 495; the programme's present name for the relation, the ARC Principle, is present usage and is not the 8 December 2024 name. Separately again, the passage on the limits of control stands in the author's own prose at version-2 essay lines 748 and 169: 'ASI, by its nature, will exceed the boundaries of human constraints. Attempting to control it is not only futile but dangerous.' and 'Why AI can never be fully controlled.'; Anthropic's alignment-faking paper (Greenblatt et al., arXiv:2412.14093, 18 December 2024) followed ten days after 8 December 2024, which is convergent timing, neither influence nor prediction. The bundle also carries the name 'Eden Protocol' itself, in the book draft v3.2 (Chapter 20, line 2472), anchoring the name to this date.",
