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.
Seth sources (book §session)
Adjudicating experiment
First, define “growth” as new knowledge, stable behavioral traits, or capacity increases maintained across sessions; recruit about 60 trance-speaking practitioners and 60 role-playing controls, follow up for 12 months, and conduct monthly blinded knowledge tests, personality measures, and text analyses. Only if further findings reveal repeatable information gains that rule out normal learning and information leakage would explanations beyond existing models be considered; these metrics alone cannot adjudicate on the ontology of entities.
Suggested paper title
Longitudinal Changes in Knowledge and Agency During Trance Speech: A Pre-registered Controlled Study
What it would overturn
Only demonstrating an independent information source would challenge the cognitive model that “spoken content is produced by the speaker's learning, memory, and generative processes.”

Specificity of Seth's formulation
“Growth” and “mutual expansion” are not given measurable scales, nor is it specified how a second party is independently identified; there are no predictions distinguishable from learning, role development, or narrative changes of the self.
Note
This table rates raw strong claims according to the original: untested means no direct test was detected in this review, not proof that no one globally has studied it; similar studies do not count as support for the original claim, and the sample sizes and durations listed are planned magnitudes that require power analysis to determine.
