Events are not initially built up from physical particles; they are the result of mental activity, and the world is formed from the inside outward.

事件并不是最初由物理粒子建立起来的,它们是心理活动的结果,世界从内向外形成。

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 claimant to commit to a manipulable derived prediction: intention can alter physical random events with no conventional connection. Approximately 1,000 people, each completing 200 fixed-duration blocks, randomly alternating intention, passive observation, and no-person conditions; use random sources based on different principles, pre-generated control streams, and independent environmental sensors; blind researchers and analysts; control for device drift and trial dependence; publicly release full data. The project lasts about 18 months and is replicated by a second team. A null result constrains this causal version but cannot rule out idealism compatible with all physical observations.
Suggested paper title
Human Intention and Physical Randomness: A Pre-registered Multisite Test With Independent Device Controls
What it would overturn
If intention, after excluding known physical transmission and analytical biases, still alters random outputs, it would challenge the causal closure assumption that external physical outcomes are not influenced by mental intention lacking a physical channel.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
"The world is formed from the inside outward" does not specify when, how much, or in what way it deviates from physical predictions; it becomes testable only after adding an intention effect, but that experiment is not a test of the origin of the entire world.
Note
Perception influenced by prediction, belief, and attention does not mean external events are created by mental activity; physical interactions in quantum measurement also cannot be directly interpreted as requiring a conscious observer.
