Physical perception can perceive only the stimuli in its own probability system; other possible stimuli are blocked, making it 'biased perception.'
物理感知只能感知自身概率系统中的刺激，其他可能的刺激被阻断，故为“有偏见的感知”。

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.
Seth sources (book §session)
Adjudicating experiment
First, one must provide a division and source of ground truth for 'its own probability system' and 'other systems' that is independent of participants' reports; otherwise an adjudicating experiment cannot be designed; a neighboring question can first be addressed: about 120 participants, two sessions, priors manipulated with probability cues and near-threshold stimuli, signal detection models used to separate sensitivity from criterion; about 6–9 months; even if prior bias is found, it only validates selectivity within this system, and cannot validate that other probabilistic realities are blocked.
Suggested paper title
Prior Probability, Sensory Sensitivity, and Decision Bias in Near-Threshold Perception
What it would overturn
Only independently verifiable cross-system information transfer would modify the assumption that the information available to perception is constrained by actual input and its physical causal sources.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Existing Bayesian models explicitly specify priors, likelihoods, and decision rules, whereas the original sentence does not define a probability system; one cannot treat them as the same hypothesis merely because both use 'probability.'
Note
Without an independently defined cross-system ground truth, any success or failure can be reinterpreted as an intra-system event, and therefore cannot constitute a falsifiable study.
