Your environment is part of the self, physically presented through thoughts, emotions, and beliefs; you choose your psychological territory.

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
A 2x2 randomized trial with approximately 800 participants receiving cognitive reappraisal training × actual environmental improvement, intervention for 8 weeks, follow-up for 12 months, project duration 18 months; measure subjective environmental evaluation, activity trajectories and social behavior, economic resources, and independent sensor indicators separately. Pre-register behavioral and perceptual mediation paths, comparing whether belief change alone produces objective environmental changes beyond these paths; add isolated physical targets that participants cannot access or manipulate to prevent mislabeling active environmental selection as direct physicalization. Mediation residuals can only suggest model incompleteness, requiring second-stage mechanistic experiments.
Suggested paper title
Beliefs, Behavior, and Environmental Change: A Preregistered Factorial Trial of Cognitive and Material Interventions
What it would overturn
If beliefs change the objective environment after excluding action, communication, and known physical channels, it would revise the assumption that psychological causal effects on the environment require physical or behavioral mediation.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
'Choosing psychological territory' can correspond to attention, behavioral choice, and social environment shaping, lacking uniqueness; 'thoughts physicalize' is stronger, but it does not specify objects, timing, or scope of effect.
Note
This item is rated as 'untested' under the ontological interpretation of direct physicalization; if interpreted as all external conditions must be produced by individual beliefs beforehand, it should be rated 'contradicted' along with item 1.
