Key Notes
Jiang treats the rapid turnaround in the classroom demo as evidence that standard neuroscience cannot explain the effect while morphic-field theory can.
Jiang says the earlier three-mirror candle experiment established that brightness remains equally bright regardless of distance even if apparent size changes.
A student speculates that reality may be a divine experiment involving a perfect world and a miserable world, using the analogy of rats tested in mazes.
A student proposes that because God is omnipotent he can choose to grant freedom to people in order to see how they react, almost as an experiment.
Jiang sharpens that proposal into a provocation that would make human life look like mice in a lab being tested by God.
Jiang restates that answer as a troubling model in which God would need evil in order to produce good, then asks whether a real God would operate that way at all.
The quoted passage explicitly says experiment is the source from which the stream of the arts proceeds, making empirical testing the cure for abstract caviling.
Jiang interprets Beatrice as refusing coercive authority: even as a representative of God she tells Dante to verify the truth for himself through experiment rather than merely believe her.
