Scientists must use inner senses, otherwise they can only handle camouflage and run into dead ends.

科学家必须使用内在感官，否则只能处理伪装而陷入死胡同。

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
Rewrite 'must use' as a measurable incremental benefit: 240 participants are randomly assigned to specified inner-sense training versus expectation-matched control, solving 100 scientific prediction or diagnostic tasks with sealed answers; training for 8 weeks, then assessing accuracy, calibration, and reproducibility on unseen tasks for 4 weeks, project duration 12 months. A positive result would only support usefulness of this training, not prove that all scientific discoveries require it.
Suggested paper title
Does Introspective Training Improve Scientific Prediction? A Preregistered Randomized Evaluation
What it would overturn
If irrefutable necessity is demonstrated, it would overturn the assumption that public, reproducible observation and reasoning are sufficient for some reliable scientific knowledge.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Presents absolute necessity, in principle prone to counterexamples; if any intuition and thinking are redefined as inner senses, it loses falsifiability.
Note
Contradicted targets the methodological assertion that 'without it one hits a dead end'; the additional explanation about ultimate reality being merely camouflage remains unoperationalized.
