It is suggested that Jane persist with 'psychological time' experiments, deem them important for psychic education and for bodily benefits through temporarily stepping outside physical time.

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 are randomly assigned to operationalized psychological time practice, standard mindfulness, or matched relaxation, for 8 weeks with 3-month follow-up; primary endpoints pre-specified as stress or pain; time estimation and sleep are secondary endpoints. Supplementary question 2: approximately 300 participants keep a 180-day image diary with immutable timestamps, while recording all daily events according to fixed prompts; pre-specify 24-hour and 7-day matching windows, event categories, and similarity rules. Blind raters evaluate real future events, displaced-date events from the same person, and events matched from other people; use block permutation preserving seasonality and autocorrelation to estimate base rates; additionally include standard events randomly drawn by an independent server after diary submission to rule out schedule prediction and self-fulfillment.
Suggested paper title
Subjective Time, Well-Being, and Prospective Imagery–Event Correspondence: A Pre-registered Controlled Study
What it would overturn
Only if imagery can repeatedly predict post-hoc independently generated random events would this challenge the assumption that current reports are statistically independent of not-yet-generated random targets; subjective time alteration or health improvement itself does not challenge physical time theory.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
No independent measurement standard for stepping outside time is given, nor are bodily benefit indicators specified; the blind case lacks a pre-specified event set, time window, and base rate, so prediction accuracy cannot be estimated from it.
Note
When 'stepping outside physical time' is understood as an experiential description, it can be operationalized; if understood as a physical process, the current formulation does not yield a clear physics test.
