Your project is timely for me. I have been recently dredging the internet 
for information about the iAPX 432 and have corresponded with the 
defacto-custodian Eric Smith 
(http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/intel/iapx432/) regarding 
documentation. My curiosity was focused around why the team included 
capabilities in the design and whether any of those involved continued their 
advocacy of the capability model.

I was intending to place my findings somewhere in here:
