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
Multi-center trial with approximately 1,200 participants, orthogonally manipulating high/low arousal induction and high/low personal emotional relevance, while distinguishing positive and negative valence; each person completes 200 future random image four-alternative forced-choice tasks over 18 months. Mood is manipulated and reports are completed first; targets are generated randomly afterward. Subjective relevance, skin conductance, and heart rate are recorded concurrently. A necessary-condition test requires that the high-relevance condition reliably exceeds 25%, the low-relevance condition falls within a pre-registered near-chance equivalence interval, and a replicable interaction emerges; high arousal alone outperforming low arousal is insufficient to prove necessity.
Suggested paper title
Emotional Relevance and Arousal as Moderators of Future-Target Matching in a Pre-registered Factorial Study
What it would overturn
If both the future random target matching effect and its emotional dependence are confirmed, it would revise the assumption that emotion only modulates processing of existing information and does not provide future random information.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
'Necessary' is a relatively clear logical constraint, but 'emotional attraction' lacks a scale or threshold and cannot automatically equate to high arousal after watching a thriller.
Note
Even if the low-relevance condition yields precise null effects, it only supports necessity within the defined operational scope and cannot prove a universal necessary condition in all contexts.
