THE DATED PREDICTION REGISTER: FORWARD PREDICTIONS AS ONE VERIFIABLE CHAIN
Michael Darius Eastwood. Working Paper. Version: v1.1. First published 25 August 2026.
Abridged plain-text rendition; the HTML page is the master.

The programme's forward predictions assembled as one dated chain: the 8 December 2024
sealed manuscript bundle; the 30 April 2025 manuscript; the 2 January 2026 print edition
(nine numbered predictions with falsification criteria across Appendix F and Appendix A
sections A.3 and A.4); Paper III's public priority record of 13 February 2026 (falsifiers
F4, F7, F10 to F12); the live laboratory notebook commenced 10 March 2026; thirty-six
result files of 11-12 March 2026 whose headers freeze designs and planted answers before
responses; the tiered 50-domain suite of 16 March 2026 (19/25 original, 18/25 corrected,
both reported); the 17 March 2026 preregistration folder, locked 12-row manifest, and the
00:43/00:47/00:56 commit sequence in which the author demoted his own 10/12 result to a
pilot dry run within thirteen minutes; OpenTimestamps vintages of 12 and 23 August 2026;
eight staged draft registrations awaiting the human click. The register's claim is the
ensemble, not per-row priority; earlier statements by others are convergence. It does not
make the programme preregistered in the registry sense and never uses that word except
for an accepted registry submission.

Michael Darius Eastwood conceived and directs this research programme and is the
author of this work. Across the programme, he has used more than six AI systems
in parallel, under his own instructions, to stress-test his arguments, identify
possible errors, and assist in preparing draft text from his own outlines. He
determines what is adopted, revised or rejected and takes responsibility for the
published content. These systems are tools, not authors.
