Science is forced to consider telepathy as a means of communication and will continue to advance in this direction.

科学被迫考虑心灵感应作为沟通手段,并且会沿此方向继续推进。

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
Approximately 300 sender–receiver pairs across three centers, each pair conducts 200 randomized binary-choice target judgments, divided into four sessions, project duration 18–24 months. Senders view targets in an isolated room, while both receivers and on-site experimenters are unaware of the target; include conditions with no one viewing the target and a real sensory signal positive control. Cross pendulum and button conditions, recording EEG, EOG, EMG, and pendulum trajectory. Pre-register the pre-response window of −600 to 0 ms, target content decoding, accuracy, and information transfer rate, with participant- and center-based cross-validation, time-series permutation, and multiple comparison correction; do not decode only the receiver's final choice. The pre-movement initiation window is separately validated to avoid contamination where the pendulum has already moved but the formal response has not yet occurred. If targets are generated only after response, this would be future-target prediction and should be a separate protocol.
Suggested paper title
Target Information in Pendulum Responses and Pre-Response EEG Under Sensory Isolation: A Preregistered Multicenter Study
What it would overturn
If continuous transmission of decodable new information is persistently replicated, it would challenge the assumption that interpersonal information transfer must rely on known physical communication channels.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The prediction that science will continue research is broad, and relevant research predates this material; no time frame, communication rate, or error rate is given, limiting predictive novelty and discriminative power.
Note
The fact of continued research has support; whether telepathy holds is still debated; pendulum movement can be produced by involuntary muscle activity, and neural activity 600 ms before a decision is not anomalous evidence.
