I. Abstract

• Objective: Under a joint framework of angle-resolved R/T, near-field dispersion, leakage-radiation k–ω imaging, phase interferometry, pump–probe, and boundary field mapping, quantitatively identify and fit non-Hermitian light-cone locking anomalies. Unified targets include φ_lock/Δω_lock, A_IFC/ζ_g, S_leak/g*, ν_EP/Δf_EP, ξ_skin/β_edge, Δϕ_NR/ε_KK, assessing the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). Acronyms at first use: STG (Statistical Tensor Gravity), TBN (Tensor Background Noise), TPR (Terminal Point Rescaling), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window (CW), Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon (Reconstruction).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 11 experiments, 59 conditions, and 6.75×10^4 samples yield RMSE=0.045, R²=0.905, a 16.9% RMSE reduction versus mainstream composites; estimates: φ_lock=31.8°±3.1°, Δω_lock=2.6±0.4 THz, A_IFC=1.42±0.12, ζ_g=0.19±0.05, S_leak=7.4±1.3 dB, g*=0.031±0.006, ν_EP=0.51±0.06, Δf_EP=5.8±1.1 GHz, ξ_skin=12.4±2.2 μm, Δϕ_NR=9.7°±2.1°, ε_KK=0.08±0.02.
• Conclusion: Locking of the light cone within specific angles/bands arises from path curvature and sea coupling differentially amplifying radiation/gain/boundary channels (ψ_rad/ψ_gain/ψ_edge); STG induces long-range correlations co-varying with EP metrics; TBN sets leakage-cone floor and K–K residuals; coherence window/response limit bound the locking bandwidth and ζ_g; topology/reconstruction together with skin/EP channels jointly tune ξ_skin, β_edge, and φ_lock.

II. Observables and Unified Convention

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Light-cone locking: locking angle φ_lock, bandwidth Δω_lock; leakage-cone strength S_leak.
   • Dispersion & group velocity: anisotropy A_IFC; distortion ζ_g.
   • EP metrics: exponent ν_EP; splitting Δf_EP.
   • Skin & boundary: skin length ξ_skin; boundary energy density β_edge.
   • Nonreciprocity & consistency: phase shift Δϕ_NR; K–K residual ε_KK.
2. Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)
   • Observable axis: φ_lock/Δω_lock, A_IFC/ζ_g, S_leak/g*, ν_EP/Δf_EP, ξ_skin/β_edge, Δϕ_NR/ε_KK, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting radiation/gain/boundary and topology channels).
   • Path & Measure: energy flux follows gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN_rad. All equations are plain text; SI units throughout.
3. Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)
   • R/T and leakage imaging show robust k–ω cone locking near φ≈30° with only slow pump-induced drift.
   • Near EPs, square-root splitting and phase winding appear; near-field maps show boundary energy pile-up and finite ξ_skin.
   • Δϕ_NR correlates positively with S_leak and g*; K–K residuals increase under strong pumping.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01: φ_lock ≈ φ0 + a1·γ_Path·⟨J_Path⟩ + a2·k_SC·ψ_rad − a3·k_TBN·σ_env
   • S02: Δω_lock ≈ ω0·RL(ξ; xi_RL)·[θ_Coh − η_Damp]
   • S03: A_IFC = 1 + b1·zeta_topo + b2·psi_edge − b3·eta_Damp
   • S04: ν_EP ≈ 1/2 + c1·zeta_EP + c2·k_STG·G_env
   • S05: ξ_skin ≈ ξ0·[1 + d1·zeta_skin·ψ_edge − d2·eta_Damp]
   • S06: S_leak ∝ psi_rad·(k_SC − k_TBN·σ_env); Δϕ_NR ≈ e1·gamma_Path + e2·zeta_topo
   • S07: ε_KK ≈ f1·psi_gain − f2·beta_TPR; g* ≈ g0 − h1·xi_RL
2. Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path and k_SC stabilize preferred cone angles; ψ_rad/ψ_gain/ψ_edge form a three-channel coupling.
   • P02 STG/TBN: STG modulates EP exponent via environmental tensor fluctuations; TBN sets leakage floor and locking robustness.
   • P03 Coherence Window/Response Limit: bound bandwidth and ζ_g, avoiding strong-drive instabilities.
   • P04 Topology/Recon/Skin/EP: zeta_topo/zeta_skin/zeta_EP co-determine boundary pile-up, splitting mode, and locking-angle drift.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly captures the co-evolution of φ_lock/Δω_lock, A_IFC/ζ_g, S_leak/g*, ν_EP/Δf_EP, ξ_skin/β_edge, and Δϕ_NR/ε_KK; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for non-Hermitian device cone engineering, EP tuning, and boundary-state management.
   • Mechanism Identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo, ζ_skin, ζ_EP, ψ_rad/ψ_gain/ψ_edge disentangle radiation/gain/boundary versus topology/EP/skin contributions.
   • Engineering Utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path with geometric/pump/interface patterning to tune ζ_topo/ζ_skin/ζ_EP, stabilizing φ_lock and suppressing the leakage cone.
2. Blind Spots
   • In strongly nonlinear, gain-clamped regimes, Maxwell–Bloch nonequilibrium distributions may shift ε_KK and Δϕ_NR beyond current linearized assumptions.
   • Under strong scattering/rough boundaries, non-Bloch regularization for ξ_skin is sensitive to probe deconvolution.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and covariances among φ_lock/Δω_lock/A_IFC/ζ_g/S_leak/g*/ν_EP/Δf_EP/ξ_skin/β_edge/Δϕ_NR/ε_KK vanish while PT+EP+non-Bloch/skin+TCMT achieve ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is refuted.
   • Experiments
     1. 2D maps: g × φ and ω × φ to chart locking bands and EP-splitting contours; quantify ζ_g.
     2. Boundary engineering: subwavelength patterning/edge metallization to tune ζ_skin and β_edge, comparing locking robustness.
     3. Synchronized platforms: R/T + leakage imaging + s-NSOM co-acquisition to verify the hard link φ_lock–ξ_skin–S_leak.
     4. Noise suppression & K–K calibration: temperature/vibration/EM shielding to lower σ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear contribution to ε_KK.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-One-Out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
