Research Program / Claims / clairvoyance-1

Because causality and linear time do not exist in fundamental reality, past, present, and future coexist in the 'spacious present', making clairvoyance possible.

由于基本实相中不存在因果和线性时间,过去、现在与未来同时存在于“广袤的现在”,透视因此成为可能。

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
There is no directly adjudicable operational definition for 'fundamental reality has no causality and all times coexist'. Its information-prediction consequences can be tested: multi-center recruitment of approximately 2,000 participants, each performing 100 four-alternative forced-choice tasks, with imagery reports sealed first, and future images randomly selected later by an independent server; participants, on-site experimenters, and raters are all blind to the target. Pre-registered metrics include hit rate, time interval, exclusion rules, and hierarchical models, with no-person runs and pseudo-target controls; duration is 12–18 months. Even if the hit rate consistently exceeds 25%, this would only confirm an anomalous predictive association and cannot uniquely prove the ontology.
Suggested paper title
A Pre-registered Multicentre Test of Information About Future Randomly Selected Visual Targets
What it would overturn
If reproducible results are obtained after excluding information leakage and common causes, it would challenge the statistical and causal modeling assumption that future independent random selection is conditionally independent of current reports.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The 'spacious present' provides no hit rate, accessible time range, or failure conditions, and thus cannot generate distinct predictions compared with other retrocausal or time-symmetric explanations.
Note
The full text rates specific claims rather than adjacent fields; 'untested' indicates that this search did not find a direct test of the specific proposition, and does not claim exhaustive coverage of global literature; adjacent papers are clearly marked, and proposed sample sizes must be powered based on minimal meaningful effect sizes and repeated-measures structures.
