Psychic energy is the only reality from which all things arise; the external environment is a reflection of the internal environment. Significant progress is achieved only when it is recognized that humans actually construct their own material universe.
心灵能量是万物由之而生的唯一现实，外在环境是内在环境的反映；当认识到人实际上建构了自己的物质宇宙时，才会取得显著进步。

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
The claim that 'the only reality of all things' cannot be adjudicated by finite experiments; at best, one can first convert the notion that the environment reflects internal states into a restricted causal hypothesis. Approximately 600 participants could be recruited across three centers, with their expectations for outputs from a sealed distal device randomly manipulated. Each participant completes multiple sessions, yielding at least 100,000 pre-registered outputs in total. Control conditions include empty rooms, false feedback, no-human-involvement, and blinded analysis, over a period of 18–24 months. The direction of effect, effect size, and distance relationship must be specified in advance, and electronic interference, equipment drift, and outcome selection must be excluded. Even if repeated positive results are obtained, they can only support a specific mental-state–device association, not prove that the entire universe is produced by mind.
Suggested paper title
A Pre-registered Multisite Test of Mental-State-Dependent Changes in Physically Isolated Random Processes
What it would overturn
If the output of an isolated device is causally altered by mental states, this would amend the hypothesis that, given known physical conditions, the output is independent of the observer's psychological state.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
It belongs to a broadly idealist ontological position and does not offer quantitative predictions distinguishing it from other idealist or empirically equivalent physical models.
Note
No paper directly testing 'psychic energy is the only reality of all things' was found, so evidence is left blank; perception construction, placebo effects, and quantum measurement research do not directly imply this conclusion.
