Research Program / Claims / dream-state-7
In the dream state, the electromagnetic reality of inner senses can be triggered; mental enzymes, like sparks, trigger inner reactions, and this occurs easily because of reduced ego resistance.
梦境状态中内感官的电磁现实可被触发,精神酶如火花般引发内在反应,因自我阻力降低而容易发生。

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 require the specification of concrete enzyme molecules, substrates, products, catalytic reactions, and electromagnetic coupling predictions; if these cannot be provided, the original mechanism cannot be adjudicated. For testable sub-propositions, one can first use about 40 participants, 3 nights each, with EEG/MEG and immediate awakening paradigms, to test whether predefined electromagnetic indicators relate to sensory vividness and reflective ability in dreams, with a 6-month exploration period; candidate indicators are then replicated in an independent pre-registered sample of about 150 participants, over 12 months. Enzyme mechanisms additionally require in vitro catalysis, specific inhibition, and recovery experiments; EEG correlations cannot substitute.
Suggested paper title
Electrophysiological Predictors of Sensory Vividness and Metacognition During Dreaming
What it would overturn
If a new enzyme–electromagnetic pathway with independent causal action is discovered, it would modify models that account for dream perception by known neuroelectrochemical mechanisms.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The terms appear concrete but lack enzymatic definitions or electromagnetic parameters; if 'mental enzymes' are post hoc relabeled as neurotransmitters, it loses distinguishability from existing explanations.
Note
Measurability of EEG and MEG does not support an additional inner-sense entity; negative ions, neuronal membrane potentials, and electromagnetic radiation are not interchangeable.
