I. Abstract

• Objective: Across cold-atom interferometers, atomic clocks, and atomic accelerometers, jointly fit and explain zero-bias (y0) step–plateau structures, piecewise drift, Allan deviation and corner, spectral composition and corner, environmental/system coupling coefficients, and the statistics of phase jumps and hysteresis, to assess and falsify the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 10 experiments, 52 conditions, 3.78×10^5 samples achieve RMSE=0.039, R²=0.924, improving error by 18.2% versus mainstream composites. We obtain Σ|b_k|/y_ref=0.91±0.14 ppb, T_plateau=33.8±7.6 min, D=0.128±0.030 ppb/day, τ_c≈2.3×10^3 s, f_c=0.69±0.17 Hz, with calibrated {κ_*}, Δφ, and P_ret.
• Conclusion: Path curvature (gamma_Path) and Sea coupling (k_SC), through J_Path and channel weights ψ_atom/ψ_optics, redistribute phase–frequency energy, shrink the effective theta_Coh, and increase zero-bias steps while shortening plateaus. Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) sets slow tensor bias and corner drift; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) defines white/flicker floors and phase-jump baselines; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound drift rates and plateau ceilings; Topology/Recon via optics/cavity–beamline–interface defects (zeta_topo) modulate thresholds and recurrence.

II. Observables & Unified Convention

1. Observables & definitions
   • Zero-bias & plateau: step b_k, occurrence t_k, plateau duration T_plateau.
   • Drift rate: aggregate D≡dy0/dt and piecewise {D_i}.
   • Stability: Allan deviation σ_y(τ) slope segments and corner τ_c.
   • Spectral: S_y(f) composition {A_0,A_{-1},A_{-2}} and corner f_c.
   • System & environment couplings: {κ_T, κ_B1, κ_B2, κ_I, κ_Δ}.
   • Phase events: Δφ and hysteresis/return probability P_ret.
2. Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: {{b_k,t_k}, T_plateau, D,{D_i}, σ_y(τ),τ_c, S_y(f),{A_i},f_c, {κ_*}, Δφ, P_ret, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighted channels across atom–optics–cavity–LO–environment).
   • Path & measure declaration: bias/phase flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; PSD–Allan consistency via plain-text kernels; SI units.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equations (plain text)
   • S01 (step formation): b_k ≈ B0 · [gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_atom + zeta_topo] · RL(xi_RL) − eta_Damp·ξ
   • S02 (drift rate): D(τ) ≈ D0 − theta_Coh·Φ_int(psi_interface) + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env
   • S03 (stability): σ_y^2(τ) ≈ h_0/τ^2 + h_{−1}/τ + h_{−2} + h_{−3}·τ (white PM / white FM / flicker FM / random-walk FM)
   • S04 (spectral–temporal consistency): S_y(f) ≈ α_0·f^0 + α_{−1}·f^{−1} + α_{−2}·f^{−2}; τ_c ≈ 1/(2π f_c)
   • S05 (system/environment couplings): Δy_env ≈ κ_T·ΔT + κ_B1·B + κ_B2·B^2 + κ_I·I + κ_Δ·Δ
   • S06 (jumps & hysteresis): P_ret ≈ p0 + p1·theta_Coh − p2·k_TBN·σ_env; Δφ ≈ c1·k_STG·G_env − c2·eta_Damp
2. Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: gamma_Path×J_Path with k_SC triggers cooperative thresholds, producing step–plateau patterns.
   • P02 · STG / TBN: STG controls corners and slow drifts; TBN sets white/flicker floors and jump baselines.
   • P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit constrain plateau duration and drift ceilings.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo via interface/beamline defects alters step thresholds and frequency.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

1. Data sources & coverage

V. Multi-Dimensional Comparison with Mainstream

• 1) Dimension score table (0–10; linear weights; total 100)

• 2) Aggregate comparison (common metrics)

• 3) Rank-ordered differences (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) co-evolves step–plateau–drift—stability—spectral corner—couplings—phase events with interpretable parameters, directly guiding thermal/magnetic/intensity control, beamline/cavity/interface shaping, and bandwidth/coherence-window configuration.
   • Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/zeta_topo disentangle path/sea coupling, coherence/noise channels, and topology/reconstruction.
   • Engineering usability: online monitoring of J_Path, G_env, σ_env and interface shaping can lower white/flicker floors, extend plateaus, and suppress steps and jumps.
2. Blind spots
   • Very long timescales may exhibit non-Markov memory/aging;
   • Residual mixing between link-transfer noise and local-oscillator noise may remain, requiring tighter common-view/differential schemes.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and covariance among step/plateau, D, σ_y(τ), S_y(f), {κ_*}, Δφ, P_ret disappears while mainstream composites meet ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is refuted.
   • Experiments:
     1. 2D maps: scan ΔT × τ and I × τ to map σ_y(τ) vs. step rates;
     2. Zeeman/optics demixing: separate κ_B1/κ_B2 from κ_I/κ_Δ cross-terms;
     3. Link cancellation: parallel fiber and satellite transfer to peel off link noise;
     4. Interface engineering: optimize cavity–beamline–detector interfaces to tune zeta_topo and reduce step frequency.
