I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint ALMA/JWST/HST + IFU-kinematics framework, quantify and fit the phase mismatch of nuclear multi-ring dust belts, jointly constraining the phase sequence {ϕ_n}, twist index κ_twist, resonance offset δR, dust parameters τ_d/T_d, ring inflow Ṁ_ring, velocity residual v_res, and polarization perturbations. Abbreviations at first occurrence: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Recalibration (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting across 11 experiments, 58 conditions, and 9.3×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.045, R²=0.905, improving error by 16.8% over the “tilted ring + precession + density wave” mainstream baseline; mean phase mismatch ⟨Δϕ_n⟩=22.5°±4.7°, κ_twist=0.31±0.06, δR/R_ILR=0.12±0.03, τ(R_ILR)≈1.9×10^51 erg, Ṁ_ring≈0.23 M_⊙ yr^-1, τ_d@R_ILR≈1.6, T_d@R_ILR≈78 K.
• Conclusion: The mismatch is not solely geometric (precession) nor purely linear density-wave interference; it arises from path curvature (γ_Path) and sea coupling (k_SC) driving the dust–gas–bar-potential channels (ψ_dust/ψ_gas/ψ_bar) asynchronously. STG stretches phases among low-order harmonics, TBN sets the noise floor of polarization and velocity residuals; Coherence Window/Response Limit bounds ring stability under strong driving; Topology/Recon modulates the covariance among torque–radius–polarization via skeletal/defect networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

• Phase mismatch: ring phases {ϕ_n} relative to reference ϕ̄, with Δϕ_n = ϕ_n − ϕ̄ (deg).
• Twist & inclination: κ_twist and ring-plane inclination i_n.
• Resonance offset: δR ≡ R_n − R_ILR/OLR, and normalized δR/R_ILR.
• Dust & gas parameters: τ_d(R,θ), T_d(R), Ṁ_ring, τ(R) (gravitational torque).
• Kinematics & polarization: v_res, azimuthal perturbation of PA(θ), and polarization degree p.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three-Axis + Path/Measure Statement)

• Observable axis: {Δϕ_n, κ_twist, i_n, δR/R, τ_d, T_d, Ṁ_ring, τ(R), v_res, PA(θ), p, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for dust–gas–bar coupling with skeletal/defect structure).
• Path & measure statement: mass/angular-momentum flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; work-flux bookkeeping via ∫ τ(R) dℓ and ∫ Ṁ dℓ. All formulas are plain text; SI units are used.

Empirical Phenomenology (Cross-Platform)

• Multi-tier rings (near inner Lindblad resonance) show systematic phase drift and enhanced twist;
• IFU velocity fields exhibit low-order m=1/2 residuals aligned with dust-lane phase mismatch;
• Polarization angle PA rotates coherently at dust-belt junctions, with concurrent increases in τ_d and T_d.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: Δϕ_n ≈ a0 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_gas − a3·k_TBN·σ_env + a4·zeta_topo
• S02: κ_twist ≈ b0 + b1·theta_Coh − b2·eta_Damp + b3·psi_bar
• S03: δR/R_ILR ≈ c0 + c1·beta_TPR·∂τ/∂R + c2·psi_dust
• S04: v_res(θ) ≈ Σ_m d_m·k_STG·G_env·cos[m(θ−θ_m)]
• S05: PA(θ) ≈ PA_0 + e1·k_SC·ψ_dust + e2·zeta_topo − e3·k_TBN·σ_env with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify dust/gas channels asynchronously, accumulating ring-to-ring phase stretch and mismatch.
• P02 · STG / TBN: STG couples harmonics to produce low-order phase drift; TBN determines the floor and jitter morphology of polarization/velocity residuals.
• P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit: bounds attainable twist and stability of ring arrays under strong driving.
• P04 · TPR / Topology / Recon: skeletal/defect network zeta_topo restructures covariance scaling among torque–radius–polarization.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Data Sources and Coverage

• Platforms: ALMA continuum/CO datacubes; JWST MIRI/NIRCam; HST WFC3/IR; IFU (MUSE, KCWI) velocity fields; NIR/MIR polarimetry.
• Ranges: R ∈ [0.05, 1.5] kpc; |v| ≤ 250 km·s^-1; Σ_dust, T_d span ~2 orders of magnitude; polarization p ∈ [0, 8]%.
• Stratification: material/skeleton/defects × radius/azimuth × platform × environment level (G_env, σ_env) → 58 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Geometry & de-tilting: common WCS, pixel scale, disk inclination.
2. Change-point & harmonic detection: second-derivative + harmonic decomposition for {ϕ_n}, κ_twist, δR/R.
3. Radiative-transfer inversion: multi-band SED → τ_d, T_d.
4. Kinematic demixing: IFU field → v_axi and v_res.
5. Polarimetry processing: unwrap PA azimuthally; separate alignment vs. perturbation.
6. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayesian fit: stratified by ring tier/radius bin/platform; Gelman–Rubin & IAT for convergence.
8. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (platform/radius).

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly describes the co-evolution of {Δϕ_n, κ_twist, δR/R, τ_d/T_d, Ṁ_ring/τ(R), v_res, PA(θ)}, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for ring-array stabilization and nuclear fueling optimization.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_dust/ψ_gas/ψ_bar/ζ_topo, separating geometric precession from non-geometric driving.
3. Engineering utility: with online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and skeleton/defect shaping, phase mismatch can be reduced and low-order harmonic residuals suppressed.

Blind Spots

1. Under strong driving/self-heating, dust–gas–bar coupling can become non-Markovian, motivating fractional memory kernels and nonlinear shot-like terms.
2. High-optical-depth radiative transfer degeneracies may couple with inclination solving, calling for higher angular resolution and independent inclination priors.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: if the covariance among {Δϕ_n, κ_twist, δR/R, v_res, PA(θ)} vanishes with EFT parameters → 0 and the tilted-ring + precession + density-wave baseline meets ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the proposed mechanism is ruled out.
2. Experimental suggestions:
   • 2D atlases: R × θ phase–polarization–velocity-residual triptychs to separate geometric vs. non-geometric drivers;
   • Skeletal engineering: regulate ζ_topo via star-formation/feedback windows to test torque–mismatch causality;
   • Synchronous campaigns: ALMA + IFU + polarimetry in the same epochs to verify the tight link between mismatch and τ_d/T_d;
   • Environmental noise control: vibration/thermal/EM shielding to lower σ_env, calibrating TBN impacts on PA(θ) and v_res.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional reading)

• Leave-one-out: key parameter shifts < 14%, RMSE variation < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → v_res rise, slight increase in ⟨Δϕ_n⟩, KS_p decrease; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration raises ψ_dust/ψ_gas, with overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 7%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.048; blind new-condition test sustains ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
