Research Program / Claims / focus-of-consciousness-8
Science's main error is excluding consciousness from the material world, whereas in fact energy, consciousness, and matter are one.
科学的主要错误在于将意识排除在物质世界之外，而实际上能量、意识、物质是一体的。

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
When an ontological identity claim has no unique observational predictions, no sample size can adjudicate it. One could first spend 6–12 months developing a mathematical model specifying how consciousness variables alter existing physical predictions; then test pre-registered predictions using public COGITATE data, and replicate in a new sample of about 200 people with EEG, fMRI, and subjective reports; project about 18–24 months. If merely comparing which brain indicators better predict consciousness, this only adjudicates predictive performance of models, not ontological identity of the three.
Suggested paper title
Testing Quantitative Mind–Brain Models With Pre-registered Multimodal Predictions
What it would overturn
Only by proposing and validating unique predictions beyond neurophysical models would the physicalist assumption that 'consciousness is fully explained by the organization and dynamics of physical systems' be challenged.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
'Oneness' lacks units, mapping relations, or evolutionary equations, and is less specific than comparable theories of consciousness; mass-energy equivalence does not imply consciousness-energy equivalence.
Note
Untested refers to the ontological assertion of identity; 'science ignores consciousness' does not hold for contemporary research, and physicalism, panpsychism, and dual-aspect monism cannot be distinguished by a single neuroimaging experiment based on names alone.
