Research Program / Claims / a-1-6

A-2 is a slightly deeper state directly below A-1, used to explore the past including reincarnation; A-3 concerns planetary history and so on; A-4 is below material formation and can perceive unmanifested concepts.

A-2是A-1正下方稍深的意识状态,用于探索过去包括转世;A-3涉及行星历史等;A-4在物质形成之下可感知未显现概念。

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
About 120 claimed practitioners are randomly assigned to original hierarchy, shuffled hierarchy, and neutral induction without hierarchy, with 6 visits each; all historical statements are sealed in advance, then verified by an archival team without contact with participants, and compared with pre-registered matched sham targets. Set up approximately 300–500 factual items with unique answers drawn from not yet public archives or geological samples to be tested, with scoring rules, information-access audit, and multiple-comparison correction, period 24–36 months. For 'unmanifested concepts,' a future outcome that can be blindly scored must first be specified; otherwise that part has no adjudicable experiment; positive historical tasks alone cannot distinguish reincarnation, unknown information acquisition, or other mechanisms.

What it would overturn
If reliable acquisition of specific historical information inaccessible through ordinary channels occurs, this would challenge the assumption that 'verifiable recall content depends on the individual's own learning and memory formation.'

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The content partitions of A-2/A-3/A-4 provide testable selective predictions, but 'deeper' and 'below material formation' have no independent indicators; they cannot yet be regarded as a defined natural hierarchy.
Note
The ontological hierarchy has not been directly tested; hypnotic regression studies provide substantial counter-evidence to treating experiences as real memories; UVA's studies of children's spontaneous reports do not equate to A-2 induction studies.
