Research Program / Claims / psychic-abilities-2
The human personality has no limits unless it accepts them; personality can exist simultaneously in multiple worlds, and abilities can be considered infinite.
人类人格没有限制,除非自己接受限制;人格可同时存在于多个世界,能力可视为无限。

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
Only the limited version "removing limiting beliefs removes ability ceilings" is tested: approximately 600 participants randomly receive 8 weeks of growth-expectancy training or credibility-matched active control, measuring working memory load curves, dual-task interference, speed–accuracy trade-offs, and belief changes, with 3-month follow-up, total 9 months. Pre-register whether only performance improves or the load curve actually changes; any finite improvement cannot prove infinite ability. "Simultaneous existence in multiple worlds" needs observable cross-world information to be defined; otherwise no adjudicable experiment exists.
Suggested paper title
Expectancy Modification and Cognitive Capacity Limits: A Preregistered Randomized Trial
What it would overturn
If cognitive limits can be eliminated solely by changing beliefs, it would modify the hypothesis that cognitive capacity is constrained by neural processing resources and information interference.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Literal "infinity" is stronger than existing psychological hypotheses but has no quantified success criteria; if all failures are attributed to still accepting limits, the claim becomes unfalsifiable.
Note
contradicted pertains to the strong assertion that no non-belief limits exist on actual abilities; the multi-world personality portion is an unoperationalized ontological claim that cannot be directly negated by working memory experiments.
