There is a time lag between prediction and event, requiring a grace period of two to three days; predictions often appear in symbolic or indirect forms.
预测与事件之间存在时间偏差,需预留两三天宽限;预测常以符号或间接方式呈现。

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
In a prospective journal study of approximately 300 participants over 180 days, pre-specify comparisons of 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour windows; the primary test assesses whether true temporal matches yield additional gains over date permutations that preserve seasonality and event autocorrelation. Literal text and symbolic interpretations are scored separately; the symbol dictionary must be submitted by participants before targets appear, or an encoder is frozen on an independent training corpus. Raters blindly assess both real and decoy events under the same time window and interpretation rules, with corrections for multiple windows and scoring approaches. Duration is 12 months, followed by confirmation of the best window on a new sample.

What it would overturn
If the true future window yields a stable advantage over randomized controls under equally relaxed rules, it would revise the assumption that additional hits from grace periods and semantic flexibility can be explained by an expanded search space.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Two to three days is a distinguishable time scale, allowing testing for an independently replicable lag peak; without pre-specifying the mapping for 'symbolic or indirect' forms, it yields almost no discriminative predictions.
Note
'Untested' means that no reliable study directly confirming this specific time window and symbolic rule has been found; positive results from other precognition paradigms cannot be used as supporting evidence, nor can post-hoc window expansion rescue a failed primary endpoint.
