Science using only external senses and physical instruments distorts raw data; internal senses, especially the 'psyche' as a tool, must be used to access basic energy.

科学只用外感官和物理仪器会扭曲原始数据,必须使用内感官尤其是“心灵”这一工具,才能触及基本能量。

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
First, basic energy is restricted to a calibratable physical quantity, such as the intensity of random thermal stimuli in an enclosed device; about 300 people complete three groups—trained introspection, ordinary introspection, and no introspection—over 8 weeks. Prediction errors for true parameters of held-out trials are compared across instrument-only, subjective-report-only, and combined conditions; operators, raters, and participants are blind to random targets, controlling for ordinary sensory cues. A superior combined model only shows information complementarity; if an independent true value is rejected, the original claim cannot be adjudicated.
Suggested paper title
The Incremental Validity of Structured First-Person Reports in Calibrated Physical and Perceptual Measurement
What it would overturn
If internal senses can reliably identify physical quantities inaccessible to ordinary senses, the hypothesis that 'first-person reports do not constitute an independent physical measurement channel beyond known sensory pathways' would be revised.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
No definition is given of raw data, degree of distortion, or basic energy, making this less specific than existing measurement theory; the suggestion to use subjective reports is already part of scientific methodology.
Note
First-person reports are data sources to be explained and validated, not arbiters exempt from error calibration; undefined basic energy cannot be relabeled as bioelectricity or ultraweak photon emission.
