A thought is a psychological reality, a psychological and psychic identity, but not a structured personal identity.

思想是一种心理实在，一种心理和心灵身份，但不是结构化的个性化身份。

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

The original statement is an unoperationalized ontological classification, and no single experiment can adjudicate it. One can first restrict 'thought identity' to recognizable content representations across time: approximately 120 participants repeatedly generate identical and different thoughts, each with 4 sessions spaced one week apart, over a 9–12 month period; use experience sampling and fMRI representational similarity analysis to test whether content stability, sense of ownership, and personality traits are separable. This experiment only tests cognitive-level distinctions and cannot determine whether thoughts are independent existents.
