Research Program / Claims / distortion-10

Distortion has two meanings: misinterpretation of information and the natural result of action copying itself; the two are similar.

扭曲有两种含义：信息误读与行动复制自身的自然结果，二者相似。

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

Build native corpora of at least 50 practitioners each for English and Chinese, with at least 1 million words or equivalent text, and include ordinary narratives and religious talks as controls; bilingual coders blind-label information misinterpretation, copy differences, creative alterations, and expressions of uncertainty, compute inter-coder reliability, model with speakers and traditions as hierarchical levels, over 12–18 months. Additionally, with 200 participants, use repetition and action-copying tasks to test whether the two error types share a latent variable; cross-cultural common expression and common mechanism must be judged separately.
