In a psychological time experiment, Jane once saw an image of a long red truck; later that day she saw a similar red Ford truck, and after receiving a premonition of a letter, a note indeed appeared.

珍在心理时间实验中曾见红色长卡车画面，当天稍后见到相似的红色福特卡车，并收到信件预感后确实有便条出现。

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
Corresponding to supplementary question 5: approximately 1000 participants are randomly assigned to an 8-week psychological time practice or an expectancy-matched relaxation control; before and after training, each completes 100 future random four-choice image tasks, submitting unmodifiable predictions before the target is generated by an independent server. The primary test is the change in hit rate by group × pre/post training, using participant-level hierarchical modeling, pre-specified stopping rules, and automated public logs, over a total period of about 12 months, with an independent replication. The natural-event version must pre-specify truck color, model, location, time window, and note-arrival criteria, and fully record misses; one cannot only count similar cases discovered later.

Prospective Prediction of Randomly Selected Future Images Following Attentional Training: A Multi-Laboratory Registered Report
What it would overturn
If stable above-chance performance is obtained after excluding leakage, randomization flaws, and selective reporting, it would revise the assumption that "an independent future random target cannot provide usable information for current behavior before generation."

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The original case lacks pre-specified similarity criteria, event base rates, and the total number of all predictions, providing no more specific prediction than general precognition hypotheses; the training-improvement claim is a testable added version.
Note
The 'contested' label applies to the generalizable precognition interpretation; the individual truck and note case remains uncontrolled and untested; this does not imply that positive and negative evidence are equally strong, as rigorous replications currently do not support a stable effect.
