Personality can simultaneously inhabit many worlds, and its abilities can be regarded as practically unlimited.

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
Approximately 300 participants complete single-task, dual-task, and multi-task paradigms with progressively increasing load; randomly assigned to 12 weeks of training or active control, with 6-month follow-up. Pre-register reaction time, accuracy, and speed-accuracy trade-off models, comparing limited-capacity vs. no-capacity-cost models. The sub-proposition of multiple worlds must first define "worlds", cross-world identity, and observable information channels; otherwise it cannot be adjudicated by this experiment.

Capacity Limits After Intensive Multitask Training: A Pre-registered Test of Competing Processing Models
What it would overturn
If practically unlimited abilities were confirmed, this would overturn the hypothesis that attention, working memory, and response selection have limited processing capacity.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Simultaneously inhabiting multiple worlds is stronger than ordinary situational role-switching, but no distinguishing indicators are provided; multiple avatars in virtual reality or simultaneously maintaining multiple self-representations do not equal existence across worlds.
Note
The "contradicted" status applies to the practically unlimited abilities component; the multiple-worlds component should be separately marked as "untested", and quantum many-worlds interpretations do not directly predict that personality can access across branches.
