Science using external senses and their instruments can only reach camouflage patterns, not the essence of the universe; it must abandon them and use inner senses.
科学使用外在感官及其工具只能接触到伪装模式,无法触及宇宙本质,必须放弃它们而使用内感官。

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
Limit the testable part to whether inner touch or imagined walking can improve information accuracy. Approximately 300 people randomly assigned to imagined walking around objects, ordinary visual imagery, or expectancy-matched neutral practice, 4 weeks of training; repeated with an independent sample, project total 6–12 months. Two non-overlapping tasks: reconstructing the back of previously seen objects, and judging a four-alternative pattern where the front is identical but the back is computer-randomly assigned and never seen. Approximately 100 trials per person, target assignment double-blind to participants and on-site experimenters, pre-register accuracy, exclusion rules, and stratified analysis to prevent sensory leakage. Improvement in the former supports memory or spatial imagery; stable above-chance 25% in the latter would warrant investigation of anomalous information acquisition, but still cannot adjudicate the essence of the universe.

Guided Spatial Imagery and Accuracy for Previously Viewed and Unseen Object Features: A Pre-registered Blinded Study
What it would overturn
If hidden random information can be repeatedly acquired after excluding leakage, this would challenge the hypothesis that external target information can only enter the cognitive system through known physical information channels.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
'Essence of the universe' is undefined, and the absolute requirement to abandon external tools lacks comparative criteria; the hidden-target task is a newly added falsifiable version.
Note
Introspection can provide experiential data requiring explanation, but if external measurement and independent verification are simultaneously prohibited, the accuracy of inner senses versus other methods cannot be scientifically compared.
