A dated record, not a moving target
Public claims should remain tied to manuscript versions and evidence cutoffs. New evidence may strengthen, narrow, or overturn parts of the argument.

Rechecked OpenAI and Hugging Face incident disclosures and Anthropic's multi-agent report. Added newer harness work, including Self-Harness and HELIX, as supporting evidence rather than proof of recursive leverage.
Technical paper v0.1
Formalized recursive leverage as a causal estimand and specified retained-versus-reverted lineage protocols, transplant assays, reporting requirements, falsification tests, and safety constraints.
Book manuscript v0.5 evidence cutoff
External-review manuscript consolidated the incident reconstruction, neuroscience analogy, machine-institution hypothesis, causal framework, and experimental program.
