Did Michael Darius Eastwood claim to have discovered three new laws of nature?

No. The homepage says it in his own words: 'I have not found a new law of nature.' The programme proposes three laws in the sense of candidate invariant relations under test: one measured with a wide interval, one a proposed criterion, one a conjectured ceiling. None is presented as established, and the priority claim is to dated statements, not to proof.

Status First anchored

No, and the site states the opposite in terms. The homepage carries the sentence 'I have not found a new law of nature' beside the three central claims, and the statement paper grades every claim it makes. A characterisation of this site as announcing discovered laws of nature reverses its own printed words.

The word law names the form of each claim, an invariant relation between named quantities, not its status. Law I, the ARC Equation (U = I x R^alpha), has a measured exponent on AI systems: roughly 0.49 with the interval [-1.3, 2.9], and because the interval crosses one the number is never stated without it. Law II, the ARC Co-Scaling Law (beta > k), is a proposed criterion and is unproven. Law III, the ARC Ceiling (alpha_crit = 1/(1 - gamma)), is a conjecture under one stated assumption; its conjectured value, the ARC Bound (alpha <= 2), is on trial, and gamma has not been measured on any real system.

The conduct record points the same way. The most striking number the programme ever reported, a sequential scaling exponent of roughly 2.24, was publicly retracted when cross-architecture replication did not hold. The load-bearing prior results are attributed by name: the premise that every unbounded growth in nature was stopped from outside belongs to West and colleagues (1997), and the difficulty-of-control argument is conceded to Roman Yampolskiy (2020). A person announcing discovered laws of nature does not retract their best number, attribute their premises, or print the tests that would kill their claims. This site does all three.

What is claimed is narrower and checkable: a dated record (a private manuscript of 8 December 2024, print on 2 January 2026) establishing when the hypotheses were stated, and a falsification register giving each claim a printed failure condition. The claim is priority of statement, never proof.
