Research Program / Claims / unconscious-1
The subconscious is a 'barrier and threshold' that receives all inner data and filters it into the current camouflaged personality.
潜意识是一个“屏障和门槛”，接收所有内在数据并将其过滤到当前的伪装人格中。

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
For supplementary question 1: a pre-registered study with approximately 300 participants, with two experimental sessions one week apart, using masking and dichotic listening. The same materials are randomly assigned to incidental learning, intentional learning, and no-learning conditions, matching exposure, familiarity, and emotional salience; priming, recognition, and source memory are measured independently. The primary endpoint is the interaction of learning condition with masking strength or attentional load on recognition sensitivity and the threshold for conscious access. Objective forced-choice and subjective visibility measures are used, and equivalence testing constrains residual awareness; 'not significant' cannot declare full unconsciousness. The project runs approximately 9–12 months; it can only test selective access mechanisms, not adjudicate the undefined 'all inner data'.

Implicit and Explicit Memory Contributions to Conscious Access Under Masking and Dichotic Listening: A Pre-registered Study
What it would overturn
If an independent filtering effect remains after matching for familiarity, memory strength, and attention, the specific model assumption that 'differences in conscious access can be fully explained by sensory evidence, attention, and memory strength' would be revised.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
'Barrier and threshold' resemble selective attention and conscious access theories, but no threshold, location, or filtering rule is specified; 'implicit material passes more easily' is a new research hypothesis and cannot be treated as a prediction already given by the cited work.
Note
The entire table reviews the original claims; relevant mechanistic evidence does not automatically support the full assertion. 'untested' means that no direct test was found in this search, not that no one has ever studied it. Sample sizes are planned magnitudes and require power simulation. 'who' indicates similar research directions.
