Cross-domain recursive-amplification convergence across four independent programmes

The claim - verbatim

Michael Darius Eastwood first published the synthesis observation that at least four independent research programmes (AI reasoning, quantum error correction, acoustic physics and consciousness science) have converged on recursive or recurrent processing producing capability gains exceeding linear accumulation, on 13 February 2026 in the Foundational paper (OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6C5XB). This is a synthesis observation about other researchers' independent work, not a claim of discovering the underlying results. Priority-claims.html row 16 tags recursion-cross-domain as speculative.

Limits and citation guidance - what this claim does not support, and how to cite it

Limits. Priority is over the synthesis observation on this date only; do not claim Eastwood produced the four programmes' results.
