I. Abstract

Objective. Within a joint framework spanning waveguides, microcavities, and photonic crystals, identify and fit an ultra-wideband dispersion-engineering gap: a broad spectral interval Δλ_gap where the target dispersion β2_target(λ) cannot be reached by the measured β2_meas(λ), accompanied by anomalous windows in D_int(μ) and local mismatches driven by mode crossings. Unified targets: Δλ_gap, β2(λ), S = dβ2/dλ, D_int, W_anom, δβ2@cross, P_th_comb, F_SC; evaluate explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 13 experiments, 64 conditions, and 6.3×10^4 samples yield RMSE = 0.038, R² = 0.929, a 17.8% error reduction vs. mainstream (Sellmeier + geometric dispersion + crossings + CMT + LL/NLSE). Estimates: Δλ_gap = 86 ± 14 nm, W_anom = 210 ± 25 nm, max|β2−β2_target| = 38 ± 7 ps²/km, δβ2@cross = 22 ± 6 ps²/km, P_th_comb = 94 ± 12 mW, F_SC = 3.1 ± 0.5.
Conclusion. The gap anomaly arises from path curvature (γ_Path) and sea coupling (k_SC) producing asynchronous gain/suppression across core/clad/mode/thermal channels (ψ_core/ψ_clad/ψ_mode/ψ_therm); Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) induces asymmetric drift of D_int(μ) and crossing shifts; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets low-frequency undulations and threshold jitter; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) bound achievable anomalous-window width; Topology/Reconstruction (ζ_topo) reshapes modal-coupling scalings via microstructures/grooves/lattice defects.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Gap interval. Δλ_gap ≡ {λ | |β2_target(λ)−β2_meas(λ)|>ε and span>δ}.
Dispersion & slope. β2(λ), S(λ)=dβ2/dλ; microcavity integrated dispersion D_int(μ) and anomalous window W_anom.
Crossings & thresholds. Local mismatch δβ2@cross, microcomb threshold P_th_comb; supercontinuum broadening F_SC.
Consistency metric. P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis. Δλ_gap, β2, S, D_int, W_anom, δβ2@cross, P_th_comb, F_SC, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient weighting core/clad/modal/thermal channels.
Path & measure. Energy/coherence propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; dispersion/group-delay bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas are plain text; SI units enforced.

Cross-platform empirical patterns

Broad unreachable intervals appear in PCWs and microcavities, with synchronized deviations of β2 and D_int from targets.
Near mode crossings, δβ2@cross peaks and P_th_comb rises.
Supercontinuum step structure covaries with Δλ_gap boundaries; higher environment levels enlarge the gap.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. Δλ_gap ≈ Δλ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_mode − k_TBN·σ_env + c_t·ψ_therm]
S02. β2(λ) ≈ β2^geo(λ) + a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·ψ_core − a3·ψ_clad
S03. D_int(μ) ≈ D0 + b1·γ_Path·J_Path + b2·θ_Coh − b3·k_TBN·σ_env
S04. δβ2@cross ≈ d1·ζ_topo + d2·ψ_mode; P_th_comb ∝ f(β2, β3, ξ_RL, eta_Damp)
S05. F_SC ∝ g(P, L) · exp(−η_Damp·T) · Φ(D_int, S); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_disp · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 • Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path and k_SC redistribute modal content, shifting the baselines of β2 and D_int to form unreachable intervals.
P02 • STG/TBN. k_STG drives asymmetric D_int drift; k_TBN sets low-frequency noise floor and threshold jitter.
P03 • Coherence window/response limit/damping. θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp bound anomalous windows and supercontinuum gain.
P04 • TPR/Topology/Reconstruction. ζ_topo tunes mode-crossing strength via microstructure/defect networks, controlling δβ2@cross.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of Δλ_gap, β2/S, D_int/W_anom, δβ2@cross, P_th_comb, F_SC within a single parameterization; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for geometry/material/microstructure design and thermo/stress management.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and {ψ_*}/ζ_topo separate core, cladding, modal, and thermal contributions.
Engineering leverage. Online G_env/σ_env/J_Path monitoring and microstructural shaping (ζ_topo) can shrink gaps, lower thresholds, and enhance comb/supercontinuum performance.

Blind spots

Strong multimode coupling and thermo–stress interaction may introduce non-Markovian memory and geometric nonlinearities, requiring higher-order dispersion/mode-coupling and thermo-elastic equations.
In PCWs, flatband/Dirac near-degeneracy can yield abnormally flat dispersion; angular- and polarization-resolved experiments are needed to isolate effects.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification. If EFT parameters → 0 and covariances among Δλ_gap, D_int/W_anom, δβ2@cross, P_th_comb, F_SC vanish while mainstream models meet ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions.
- Geometry × temperature maps: Sweep waveguide width/height or lattice aperture and temperature to chart Δλ_gap, D_int, P_th_comb, delineating coherence-window/response-limit boundaries.
- Topological shaping: Use subwavelength gratings/sidewall microstructures and defect networks (ζ_topo) to tame mode crossings and suppress δβ2@cross.
- Synchronous acquisition: Collect β2/S + D_int + supercontinuum concurrently to verify linear covariance Δλ_gap ↔ W_anom.
- Environmental suppression: Isolation/shielding/thermal control to reduce σ_env, suppress low-frequency undulations, and stabilize thresholds.
