Research Program / Claims / psychic-abilities-10

A consistent and original theory for psychic abilities must be established, and testable experiments designed; the subconscious should be reevaluated and granted greater authority.

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
Conduct an adversarial collaboration over 18–24 months: first require each theory to submit a runnable model specifying frequency, time delay, stress modulation, and lower-bound effects, frozen before contact with confirmation data. Approximately 1000 participants complete a total of 100,000–200,000 trials of random target tasks, with ordinary information-inference controls; development and independent validation sets are divided by experimental center, and pre-registered prediction scores compare pure random models, conventional unconscious processing models, and additional channel models. Theories must specify what results would cause them to fail.
Suggested paper title
Prospective Model Comparison of Unconscious Processing and Target Identification in an Adversarial Collaboration
What it would overturn
Establishing a theory itself does not overturn hypotheses; if a new model produces replicable incremental predictions about unknown targets, it would modify the hypothesis that unconscious information processing can explain behavior without introducing an additional information channel.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Requiring a consistent theory and testable experiments is a general scientific norm; Seth provides no equations or quantitative predictions here; "granting the subconscious greater authority" still needs to specify which task capabilities are meant.
Note
Methodological suggestions are not established empirical effects, so they are not marked as supported because they sound reasonable; pre-registration cannot replace instrument calibration and random number audits. [BIAL related funding record](https://bialfoundation.com/com?p=35)
