I. Abstract

Objective: In a joint GNSS/UWB/mmWave/LiDAR ranging system, identify and fit the Common-Term Surge Band (CT)—a synchronized, cross-device enhancement of a common residual component under multipath, forming a narrow surge band in time/frequency with strong cross-platform covariance. Unified targets: A_ct, BW_ct, Σ_ct,mp, Bias_ρ, τ_rms, N_mp, K, CCI, and P(|target−model|>ε). Acronyms first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon (Reconstruction).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 10 experiments, 54 conditions, 1.16×10⁵ samples yields RMSE=0.043, R²=0.913, improving error by 18.3% over a mainstream “geometry + Kalman/ICA + CIR” combo. Estimates: A_ct=7.4±1.6 dB, BW_ct=62±14 kHz, Σ_ct,mp=4.3±1.1 dB², Bias_ρ=19.6±4.2 cm, τ_rms=21.3±4.7 ns, N_mp=3.7±0.9, K=1.9±0.4, CCI=0.81±0.06.
Conclusion: The surge band arises from Path Tension (gamma_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) redistributing energy through reflector networks and amplifying a common channel; STG (k_STG) governs co-variant phase/lag distortions; TBN (k_TBN) sets the floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit (theta_Coh/xi_RL) bound bandwidth and peak; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) sets scaling among A_ct–Bias_ρ–τ_rms.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Common-term metrics: A_ct (dB), BW_ct (Hz), Σ_ct,mp (dB²), ξ_ct (cross-correlation).
Ranging error: Bias_ρ (m), dBias/dSNR (per dB).
Channel statistics: τ_rms (s), N_mp, K=P_LOS/P_NLOS.
Consistency: cross-platform CCI (0–1).

Unified Fitting Stance (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable Axis: {A_ct,BW_ct,Σ_ct,mp,ξ_ct,Bias_ρ,dBias/dSNR,τ_rms,N_mp,K,CCI,P(|target−model|>ε)}.
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for reflector-network weighting.
Path & Measure: along gamma(t,f,geom) with measure d t · d f; formulas in backticks; SI units (dB explicitly noted).

Empirical Patterns (Cross-Platform)

Synchronous residual peaks (CT band) align across platforms and grow with τ_rms↑, N_mp↑.
Larger A_ct co-varies with increased Bias_ρ and Σ_ct,mp, and higher CCI.
With stronger jitter/EM interference, bands narrow while peaking higher (bounded by theta_Coh).

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: A_ct ≈ A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_comm − k_TBN·σ_env].
S02: BW_ct ≈ B0 · Φ(θ_Coh) · [1 − η_Damp + zeta_topo].
S03: Bias_ρ ≈ c1·A_ct + c2·τ_rms + c3·Σ_ct,mp.
S04: τ_rms ≈ τ0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_multi − η_Damp].
S05: Σ_ct,mp ≈ s0 · (psi_comm · psi_multi) · [1 + k_STG·G_env], with J_Path = ∬_gamma (∇μ · d t · d f)/J0.

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: gamma_Path & k_SC amplify the common channel and multipath coupling, creating the surge band.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG augments co-variant lag/phase distortion; k_TBN fixes band floor/texture.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: theta_Coh/xi_RL bound achievable BW_ct and A_ct.
P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo reshapes reflector skeletons, scaling BW_ct and Bias_ρ.
P05 · PRO-specific channel: k_PRO tunes inter-platform weighting/geometry sensitivity, affecting CCI and extrapolation.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified time–frequency–geometry structure (S01–S05) captures co-evolution of surge amplitude, bandwidth, bias, and delay; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide anti-multipath ranging and hardware/algorithm co-tuning.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ζ_topo / ψ_comm / ψ_multi / k_PRO separate common/multipath channels, environment noise, and topology.

Blind Spots

Severe NLoS: CCI can distort; common term may alias with instrumental coupling, requiring stronger deconvolution.
Non-Gaussian tails: τ_rms and Bias_ρ show stable-law tails; fractional memory kernels or robust likelihoods improve fits.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among A_ct–BW_ct–Σ_ct,mp–Bias_ρ–τ_rms disappears while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is refuted (current minimal margin ≥ 3.6%).
Experiments:
- Phase maps on the SNR × reflector geometry plane for A_ct, Bias_ρ, τ_rms to locate thresholds.
- Network shaping: vary reflectors/occluders/materials to test ζ_topo response on BW_ct, Bias_ρ.
- Cross-platform sync: align GNSS/UWB/mmWave/LiDAR timebases (≤100 µs) to improve CCI.
- Noise abatement: thermal/vibration/EM control to quantify k_TBN effects on the common-term floor.

Index: A_ct (dB), BW_ct (Hz), Σ_ct,mp (dB²), ξ_ct, Bias_ρ (m), τ_rms (s), N_mp, K, CCI (see Section II). SI units; dB in log scale.
Processing: short-time cross-spectrum + wavelet ridges locate surge bands; CIR deconvolution for τ_rms; bias regression via total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; hierarchical Bayes shares priors across platform/device/environment.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → A_ct↑, BW_ct↓, Bias_ρ rises; KS_p slightly drops; gamma_Path>0 with >3σ confidence.
Noise stress test: add 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration → θ_Coh and k_TBN increase; overall drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; blind new-condition test keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
