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 historical cases, first conduct a 3–6 month archival review: verify original notes, record dates, information known at the time, and witness independence; new experiments cannot reproduce the same historical event. Alternatively, recruit about 100 individuals who repeatedly report audiovisual anomalous experiences for an 8-week prospective record, with synchronized audio/video, illumination, and sleep measurements where feasible; reports are locked before blind raters check objective correspondence, with no post-hoc selection of similar persons or voices.
Suggested paper title
Prospective Multimodal Documentation and Blinded Verification of Spontaneous Visual and Auditory Experiences
What it would overturn
If only honest experiential reports exist, no mainstream assumption is overturned; if independently verifiable unknown external information is obtained, it challenges the assumption that the case is entirely explained by ordinary perception, memory, and coincidence.
Candidate labs / funders
University of Virginia School of Medicine, Division of Perceptual Studies; Society for Psychical Research
Specificity of Seth's formulation
The blue dress and voices provide narrative detail but lack prespecified targets, chance probabilities, or failure records, so they are not discriminating a priori predictions.
Note
No independent peer-reviewed verification with DOI was confirmed for these two specific events; historical authenticity, that the individuals indeed had experiences, and that experiences have external anomalous sources are three questions requiring separate evaluation.
