Research Program / Claims / waking-consciousness-3

Waking consciousness has memory only of itself and its perceptions, so it tends to assume no other consciousness levels exist; during troughs of fluctuation it may glimpse other memory systems but normally does not accept them.

醒时意识只有对自身及知觉的记忆，因此倾向于认为不存在其他意识层次；在波动低谷期可瞥见其他记忆系统但平时不接受。

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

About 150 adults learn matched materials in ordinary wakefulness and in drug-free relaxation, then cross-test; with simultaneous EEG and experience sampling, compare retrieval accuracy, source memory, confidence, and state-matching effects across blank periods and sustained attention phases; 4 sessions per person; project about 9 months. Key prediction is selective recovery after troughs of genuine information encoded in another state, exceeding predictions from fatigue, response bias, and general state-dependence models. This experiment can only adjudicate the memory-access part, not the ontological judgment about the existence of other consciousness levels.
