The scientific error lies in over-reliance on external senses and material instruments; internal senses must be used instead; the mind is the most important instrument, the meeting point of internal and external senses.

科学错误在于过分依赖外在感官与物质工具，必须改用内在感官；心智是最重要的仪器，是内外感官的交会处。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment

Methodological study: approximately 150 participants receive introspection training or active control; on independently held-out data, compare prediction and test-retest reliability of experience-report-only, EEG-and-behavior-only, and joint models, duration 9 months. Supplementary vision experiment: another approximately 160 participants complete a cross-over trial of hypnosis, mindfulness, brief sensory-input reduction, and active relaxation; endpoints are randomized ETDRS/logMAR optotypes, fixed distance and illumination, best corrected acuity, contrast sensitivity, and unfamiliar distant small print; check refraction, pupil, squinting, accommodation, guessing and memory, blinded examiner and record dissociation level, duration 6-9 months.
