Consciousness directly perceives reality and, to adapt to the physical environment, adopts a translation order of temperature images → normal images → thoughts.

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

First clarify whether 'temperature images' refers to skin temperature, subjective cold/hot imagery, or central temperature representations. Recruit approximately 150 participants, each with 3 experimental sessions, project duration 9–12 months; employ emotional valence × arousal × visual imagery/verbal thinking tasks, with concurrent infrared thermography, skin conductance, respiration, eye tracking, and EEG, and independently localize temperature-related neural representations using cold/hot stimuli. Preregistered tests examine the temporal order of temperature representation → visual representation → reportable thought, comparing against parallel processing models; in a held-out sample, test whether temperature provides information about thought content beyond arousal. Skin temperature correlations alone cannot adjudicate the translation chain.
