Research Program / Claims / means-and-ends-5

Survival is a necessary means, not an end, for a species to achieve its primary purpose; if the quality of existence deteriorates and distorts the essence of life, the species will avoid survival.

存活是族类达到其主要目的的必要手段而非目的；若生存品质恶化扭曲生命本质，族类会避免存活。

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.
