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
Multicenter pre-registered randomized trial, about 500 participants, each for 20 nights, individual cycle 4–6 weeks, total project 12–18 months; compare predictive suggestion, ordinary dream recall training, and expectation-matched control. Each night's report is sealed before independent random generation of future target images; judges are blind to group and true target. Use pre-fixed target images and decoys to score hits, false alarms, and d′, and also report forced-choice accuracy. Participants and dream reports are hierarchical units; pre-specify minimal effect, stopping rules, and multiple comparisons, and retain an independent replication cohort.

Pre-Sleep Suggestion and Dream Correspondence With Future Random Targets: A Pre-Registered Multicenter Trial
What it would overturn
If strict replication succeeds, it will challenge the assumption that humans cannot obtain information about future independent random events without an antecedent information channel.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
It adds an interaction prediction that suggestion can improve performance over generic dream anomaly correspondence hypotheses, but does not specify suggestion text, training dose, or expected effect size.
Note
Clairvoyance usually refers to obtaining current hidden information, while precognition refers to future information; they must be designed separately. Increased chance hits due to longer dream reports in the suggestion group cannot be counted as predictive ability. [Researcher direction](https://www.northampton.ac.uk/directories/people/chris-roe/)
