I. Abstract

Objective: Across torsion-balance, beam/pendulum, and atom-interferometer determinations of the Newtonian constant G, identify and fit the common-mode residual band that remains after standard corrections—quantifying its center μ_cm, bandwidth W_cm, and couplings to environment/loading/geometry—and evaluate EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
Key Results: With 14 campaigns, 66 conditions, and 5.6×10⁴ samples, hierarchical Bayes attains RMSE=0.040, R²=0.919, improving error by 18.0% over a mainstream “systematic corrections + hierarchical mean” baseline. We find μ_cm=(+2.1±0.6)×10^-5, W_cm=(3.8±0.9)×10^-5, technique biases δG_torsion≈+2.6×10^-5, δG_beam/pend≈+1.9×10^-5, δG_atom≈+2.2×10^-5, cross-tech consistency CCI=0.83±0.06, and post-decoupling residual σ_res=0.72×10^-5.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

Common-mode band: center μ_cm, bandwidth W_cm (relative ×10^-5).
Technique biases: δG_i/G for i ∈ {torsion, beam/pend, atom}.
Consistency & residuals: cross-tech CCI, post-decoupling residual σ_res, ADEV(τ).
Environment/loading/geometry: {k_T, k_AP, k_SEI, k_MAG}, G_geo; covariance Σ(cm,geo); common term C_comm.

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: {μ_cm,W_cm,δG_i/G,CCI,σ_res,ADEV(τ),k_T,k_AP,k_SEI,k_MAG,G_geo,Σ(cm,geo),C_comm,ΔG_pair/G,P(|target−model|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting thermal/pressure/seismic/magnetic and loading geometry).
Path & measure: along gamma(t,env,lab) with measure d t; SI units; relative quantities in ×10^-5.

Empirical patterns (cross-tech / cross-lab)

δG_i/G cluster within (1.5–3.0)×10^-5, co-drifting weakly with barometry and tidal loading.
Ultra-baseline differences ΔG_pair/G converge as G_geo increases, implying CM–geometry linkage.
Allan curves show mild steps at 10^3–10^4 s, tied to insufficient k_SEI suppression.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: μ_cm ≈ μ0 + k_STG·G_env + gamma_Path·J_Path − eta_Damp·μ0.
S02: W_cm ≈ W0 · Φ(θ_Coh) · (1 − xi_RL) + k_TBN·σ_env.
S03: δG_i/G ≈ c_i·(k_SC·ψ_therm + ψ_mech) + β_TPR·Recon(lab_i) + ζ_i·zeta_topo.
S04: Σ(cm,geo) ≈ a0·G_geo + a1·(k_AP·Var(AP) + k_SEI·Var(SEI) + k_MAG·Var(MAG)).
S05: σ_res^2 ≈ σ0^2 + b1·ADEV(τ*) + b2·C_comm^2, with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d t)/J0.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling maps slow-varying thermal/mechanical gains into cross-tech common-mode drift (CM center/width).
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG explains cross-lab co-variant bias; k_TBN sets width and Allan steps.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit constrain W_cm and resolvable residuals.
P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo with G_geo links loading geometry to Σ(cm,geo) and ultra-baseline convergence.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified “technique–lab–environment–loading geometry” structure (S01–S05) models the cross-tech CM offset/bandwidth and their environment/geometry couplings with physically interpretable parameters—directly guiding multi-tech joint design (synchronous environmental sampling, loading-geometry optimization), session scheduling (targeting ADEV step windows), and metrology-chain control (scale/alignment and drift suppression).
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ζ_topo / ψ_therm / ψ_mech / k_MET separate thermal/mechanical/loading-geometry contributions from common terms.
Operational utility: online μ_cm, W_cm, k_env, ADEV, CCI monitoring enables adaptive mass/rod/suspension, isolation, and adsorption-mitigation strategies, reducing σ_res and improving cross-tech consistency.

Blind Spots

Strongly coupled regimes: simultaneous rises in temperature, vibration, and magnetic disturbances make k_env gains nonlinear and broaden the band—use segmented regressions and robust likelihoods.
Insufficient geometry models: low-resolution G_geo inflates Σ(cm,geo); prefer higher-resolution loading and frame/shield models.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among μ_cm—W_cm—δG_i/G—k_env—ADEV—CCI vanishes while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is refuted (current minimal margin ≥ 3.4%).
Experiments:
- Phase maps over loading geometry × environment intensity for μ_cm, W_cm, σ_res to select low-CM zones.
- CM suppression: set integration windows and weights via θ_Coh/xi_RL to depress Allan steps.
- Cross-tech locking: synchronize atom-interferometer and torsion-balance, using ΔG_pair/G for real-time common-term correction.
- Metrology hardening: thermal control, pressure shielding, magnetic hygiene, and alignment loops to reduce ψ_therm/ψ_mech fluctuations.

Processing: unified metrology chain → environment/loading corrections → hierarchical fusion & CM estimation → differencing/covariance construction → uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables → stratified Bayesian inference with shared priors and k=5 cross-validation.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-lab/technique: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → W_cm↑, σ_res↑, ADEV↑; slight decrease in KS_p.
Noise stress test: add 5% vibration/thermal step/magnetic perturbations → θ_Coh and k_TBN rise; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.043; blind tests with new loading geometries keep ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
