Research Program / Claims / mediumship-5
For mediumistic communication to be consciously perceived, the communication must fall within the specific electromagnetic reality range of the receiver and be received by a level of the self that can translate it into meaningful words.
灵媒沟通若要被意识感知，需使沟通落入接收者特定电磁现实范围内，并由能将其翻译为有意义字词的自我层次接收。

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
Within a pre-specified electromagnetic frequency band, a computer transmits encodings of random word items unknown to participants; approximately 80 skilled practitioners and 80 controls undergo 4 crossover tests each over 12–18 months. Effective input, out-of-band input, corresponding shielding, and sham shielding are randomly compared, with all ordinary sensory cues matched; pre-registered word identification rates and the temporal relationship of input–brain response–semantic output are recorded. This experiment only tests the electromagnetic semantic reception version; the deceased as a source still requires the independent source test in mediumship-2.
Suggested paper title
Electromagnetic Signal Dependence of Semantic Reports During Trance: A Pre-registered Blinded Crossover Study
What it would overturn
If reproducible semantic decoding without conventional sensory input were obtained, it would revise the hypothesis that 'human word-meaning acquisition depends on known sensory input or existing memory representations.'

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The band-matching and translation steps could in principle produce blocking predictions, but without specifying the band, encoding method, or reception structure, it cannot currently be distinguished from ordinary semantic generation.
Note
No paper directly demonstrating this electromagnetic translation mechanism was found; language-related brain activity only shows that participants are processing language, not identifying the source of the information.
