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

GPS and accelerometers were deployed on approximately 1000 animals at at least 20 seismically active sites and matched control sites, with broadband seismic, geomagnetic, infrasound, meteorological, and human-activity data recorded synchronously for 3–5 years, with observation extended if independent earthquake events were insufficient. After training, the alarm algorithm was locked and prospectively tested in reserved regions and time periods; lead times relative to earthquake onset, local P-wave arrival, instrument alarms, and dangerous shaking were computed separately, reporting detection rates at fixed false-alarm rates and the proportion of true departure from the risk zone, controlling for foreshocks, diurnal effects, and aftershock clustering.
