Thoughts are translations and symbols of inner activity, with the function of enabling the physically adapted self to understand inner data.

思想是内在活动的翻译和符号，功能是让物理适应的自我了解内在数据。

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 100 participants complete perceptual judgment, inner speech, and nonverbal reasoning tasks; an additional ~30 undergo intensive fMRI recording; each with 4–8 sessions over 12 months. Use masking and attentional manipulations to distinguish unreportable processing from reportable thoughts, testing whether information from the former predicts subsequent thought content and adaptive decisions; compare a 'dedicated translation stage' against distributed representation models using held-out tasks and causal interventions. One must first specify which outcomes would falsify the translation model.
