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
A two-phase design is used: first, monocytes from 24–40 donors are separately exposed to norepinephrine, cortisol, and vehicle at physiological concentrations, then after a 5–7 day washout, they are rechallenged; RNA, chromatin accessibility, and cytokines are measured, and receptor blockade is performed. Then, approximately 150 participants are recruited and randomized to stress recall, neutral recall, and matched arousal conditions; autonomic, hormonal, and immune indices are measured continuously, with a 4-week follow-up, over 18–24 months. The key is to distinguish immediate transcription, persistent memory, and recall-induced specific replay, and to link the two phases using mediation analysis and blockade experiments.
Suggested paper title
Recall-Induced Neuroimmune Responses and Persistent Transcriptional Priming in Human Monocytes
What it would overturn
Neuroimmune modulation itself would not overturn the mainstream; if conscious recall can selectively retrieve prior peripheral cell states, it would revise the specific model that such persistent immune states can only be initiated by renewed peripheral stimulation.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
This is compatible with brain–autonomic–neuroendocrine–immune mechanisms, but "thought," "replay," and "the entire body" do not specify content, target cells, or pathways, and no unique quantitative predictions are provided.
Note
"Contested" refers to the explanatory scope of the complete mechanism, not claiming that stress effects on immunity remain unresolved; public data GSE167536 could be reanalyzed first, and neurotransmitters do not map one-to-one to specific emotions; a single gene upregulation is not equivalent to cellular memory.
