The article presents a study of previously obtained laws of catalysis for their fundamental and interdisciplinary nature. It follows from the laws of catalysis that catalysis belongs to the class of chemical and physical phenomena. The laws of catalysis and the formulas for calculating TOF and TON are combinations of quantities of chemical and physical nature. The main mystery of catalysis for many years has been the undisclosed role of oxidation states in the mechanism of catalysis. The field of application of oxidation states in catalysis has expanded. The oxidation states have been used for a new purpose as parameters in the laws and formulas of catalysis. It has been shown that in catalysis it is necessary to consider not only the oxidation states of the catalyst, but also the oxidation states of the reactants. The concept of oxidation states as quantitative values proved to be the main missing link that made it possible to obtain the laws of catalysis. The key role of the oxidation states of the catalyst and reagents in the donor-acceptor mechanism of catalysis has been demonstrated. The list of oxidation states of chemical elements known in chemistry can be applied as a tool for the selection of catalysts. The role and place of electric charges in the mechanism of catalysis and in the laws of catalysis have been shown. A new field of application of Faraday's constant in chemistry is outlined. In addition to its well-known use in the law of electrolysis and in the Nernst and Goldman equations, the Faraday constant has marked itself in catalysis and is included as an interaction constant in the laws of catalysis. The signs of the fundamentality of catalysis are given and the place of the laws of catalysis in the family of fundamental physical laws is shown. The laws of catalysis complement the family of fundamental laws of Nature.
