I know this hasn't been researched by any of the scientists within Undertale. Especially Alphys. My idea is:

"What if a monster absorbed a human soul? (This is already know, but...) Could they, after becoming more powerful, handle injection(s) of Determination? Could, after injection, do something like cook something with their magic, as most monsters who cook already do, and with the target being Determination (successfully?) infused with their own monster souls, be transfered to other monsters? If this were to be successful, and with safe dosages, would the monsters finally all be able to leave the underground even without a collection of seven souls? If they had just used one?"

I'm sure the theory could be expanded upon. Magic-infused substanance doesn't have to be a part of the experiment. Or maybe the monster doesn't actually have to be injected with Determination to specifically get the desired results? We don't know if it's possible anyway because its never successfully been researched in canon. But maybe Alphys might have come to a hypothesis close to this, after her failed experiments?

And maybe it could be a possible universe? Like she could have used Frisk's soul. Or a human soul before Frisk ever fell, meaning that there's a separate universe where Frisk never fell (or did fall, but never met monsters, meaning they were to find their own way out through abandoned towns and cities).Or in a neutral ending where Frisk leaves the underground alone, Alphys could have used the next human soul to fall? (UnderDetermination? DetermineTale?)
