Everyone is a medium; mediums are just people who know more clearly what they are doing; inner senses process the nature of reality, outer senses process camouflage.

每个人都是灵媒，灵媒只是更清楚自己在做什么的人；内在感官处理实相本质，外在感官处理伪装。

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

With a stratified population sample of approximately 1000 plus 100 recruited skilled mediums, complete 20–30 mutually independent blinded information tasks over 18 months; ordinary participants randomly receive 8 weeks of introspection training or expectation-matched control. Targets are drawn from independently managed archives, identity cues and live feedback are masked, statements are first split into verifiable items, then blind raters match with multiple decoy archives. Pre-register individual effect distribution, test-retest reliability, and training effects, avoiding interpreting overall mean above chance as evidence for everyone; "everyone" must first provide a detectable lower-bound effect.

Suggested paper title

Population Prevalence and Trainability of Blinded Biographical Information Accuracy

What it would overturn

If a representative sample shows universal and reliable information acquisition without channels, it would modify the hypothesis that individuals cannot accurately report private facts about strangers lacking contact, cues, or prior knowledge.

Specificity of Seth's formulation

"Everyone is a medium" is stronger than "some people perform abnormally accurately," but no minimum ability or manifestation conditions are given; "inner senses process essence, outer senses process camouflage" has no independent truth criterion.

Note

untested pertains to universality and ontological claims; evidence for selected mediums' accuracy is contested adjacent research; peer review and positive aggregate effects do not automatically exclude scoring flexibility, cue leakage, or other explanations of information sources.
