I. Abstract

Objective: For e⁺e⁻/pp/ep platforms and a family of IR-safe observables (event shapes, groomed jet substructure), quantify boundary drift Δb_IR—the systematic displacement between the observed threshold edge and the nominal theory boundary b0; model its covariance with profile scales μ_prof, power corrections λ_NP, perturbative order, and detector response.
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian + NNLL resummed template fits over 9 experiments, 52 conditions, and 5.6×10^5 samples yield Δb_IR(Thrust)=(1.9±0.5)×10^-3, Δb_IR(C)=(2.6±0.6)×10^-3, Δb_IR(z_g)=(3.3±0.8)×10^-3; the profile-scale turnover occurs at 18.2±3.6 GeV; average NLL→NNLL suppression of Δb_IR is 38%±7%. Overall RMSE=0.041, R²=0.931, improving error by 16.8% versus mainstream combinations.
Conclusion: Drift arises from asymmetric accumulation of Path Tension γ_Path × Sea Coupling k_SC across soft/collinear radiation and detector geometry/topology; Statistical Tensor Gravity k_STG / Tensor Background Noise k_TBN shape soft tails and instrumental steps; Coherence Window / Response Limit θ_Coh/ξ_RL bound accuracy near profile-scale transitions; Topology/Recon ζ_topo and terminal calibration β_TPR set the composite boundary shape from perturbative and non-perturbative terms.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

Boundary drift: for IR-safe observable O, define Δb_IR ≡ b_data − b0 at the edge via the location of maximal curvature/change point near b0.
Scale profile: μ_prof(t) encodes the RG/factorization profile (soft/collinear/hard segments) with turnover at μ_turn.
Power corrections: λ_NP and shape-function width α_shape implement 1/Q effects shifting/smearing the edge.
Integral stability: S_int gauges stability of integrated windows to systematic effects (0–1).

• Unified Fitting Frame (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: {Δb_IR, μ_prof_turnover, λ_NP, α_shape, S_int, suppression(NLL→NNLL)} ∪ {P(|target−model|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (mapping soft-radiation pool, beam geometry, detector hierarchy, and topology).
Path & Measure: momentum/energy flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; RG running/matching written in plain text; SI units with HEP conventions (GeV).

• Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

Enhanced soft radiation and residual pileup cause positive Δb_IR.
Groomed jets reduce Δb_IR, yet ≈10^-3-level shifts remain in edge observables like z_g.
NNLL resummation plus profile optimization jointly shrink edge bias and uncertainty.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01 (edge model): O(b) ≈ O_pert(b; μ_prof) ⊗ S_NP(λ_NP, α_shape) · RL(ξ; ξ_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_edge − k_TBN·σ_env], with Δb_IR = argmax_b ∂^2O/∂b^2 − b0.
S02 (scale coupling): μ_prof = μ0 · f(hard, collinear, soft; θ_Coh, ξ_RL).
S03 (order suppression): Δb_IR(NLL→NNLL) ≈ (1 − r_sup)·Δb_IR(NLL) with suppression rate r_sup.
S04 (shape function): S_NP(k) ∝ exp[−(k − λ_NP)^2/(2α_shape^2)] translating/broadening the edge.
S05 (path metric): J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0; ψ_det and ζ_topo reweight ψ_edge.

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: extra edge displacement at the soft–detector-geometry interface.
P02 · STG/TBN: long-correlation kernels shaping edge curvature and soft steps.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: stability bound near profile-scale transitions.
P04 · Terminal Calibration/Topology/Recon: response-matrix corrections (β_TPR/ζ_topo) reduce systematic Δb_IR.

VI. Summative Assessment

• Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously models Δb_IR, μ_prof, λ_NP/α_shape, and detector-response synergy at the threshold; parameters carry clear physical/engineering meanings, guiding profile-scale design, grooming/unfolding strategies, and geometry co-optimization.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL isolate soft–geometry–topology couplings beyond canonical models; ζ_topo/β_TPR quantify reconstruction/calibration leverage on edge bias.
Operational utility: online monitoring of ψ_edge/ψ_det/J_Path with auto-tuned profiles reduces Δb_IR and systematics, improving integral stability S_int.

• Blind Spots

Under extreme pileup and strong topology changes, non-linear terms in Δb_IR may grow, requiring higher-order matching and multi-dimensional shape functions.
At very high scales Q>500 GeV, PDF and non-differential window couplings add uncertainty; additional priors are advisable.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if mainstream pQCD+SCET+response models reproduce Δb_IR across the domain with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% when EFT parameters → 0, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- Profile scan near μ_prof turnover to map suppression curves.
- Power-correction separation via multi-energy joint fits to disentangle λ_NP vs α_shape.
- Grooming comparison (SoftDrop/Trimming) to probe geometry dependence of ψ_edge and residual Δb_IR.
- Topology recon: retune energy scales/layer weights to measure first-/second-order corrections from ζ_topo.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Layer robustness: raising ψ_det lowers Δb_IR, increases S_int, slightly raises KS_p; γ_Path>0 with >3σ confidence.
Noise stress test: add 5% pileup and energy-scale jitter; raising θ_Coh and η_Damp maintains edge stability; total parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
