I. Abstract

• Objective: Within the MSW–LMA framework, combine day/night, season/year, and weekly dimensions to characterize the day–night effect co-variation of solar neutrinos across years and week sequences. After stripping pure geometric annual terms and duty-cycle effects, identify fine drifts jointly driven by Earth-matter perturbation δa, the zenith-angle profile, and weekly run/environmental patterns.
• Key Results: In the 5–8 MeV window we obtain A_DN = 0.028 ± 0.007; annual modulation A_year = 0.023 ± 0.006 (phase ϕ_year ≈ −0.42 rad), weekly modulation A_week = 0.0078 ± 0.0025 (phase ϕ_week ≈ 1.21 rad), and Corr(A_DN, β_week) = 0.24 ± 0.07. The EFT framework reduces RMSE by 15.0% relative to the mainstream baseline.
• Conclusion: Path tension γ_Path × sea coupling k_SC reshapes effective projections through mantle–core–crust paths. Together with coherence window/response limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) and topology/reconstruction zeta_topo on zenith weighting, A_DN(E,t) exhibits reproducible co-variation on annual and weekly timescales; STG/TBN capture geometric anisotropy and slow-drift noise floors.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions

• Day–night asymmetry: A_DN(E,t) = (N_N − N_D)/(N_N + N_D), binned by energy and zenith θ_z.
• Annual cycle: composite of F_⊙(t) ∝ 1/R_ES^2(t) with matter-modulated terms, quantified by A_year and ϕ_year.
• Weekly cycle: run/maintenance/environmental triggers (DAQ, temperature, Kp/tide) yielding A_week and ϕ_week.
• Matter perturbation: a(E,t,θ_z) = a_0(E)[1 + δa(t,θ_z)/a_0].

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes & Path/Measure Statement)

• Observable axis: {A_DN(E,t), A_year, ϕ_year, A_week, ϕ_week, δa, P(θ_z|day/night), Corr(A_DN, β_week), P(|⋯|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: {Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient} to weight density/tension fields acting on the propagator.
• Path & measure: flux along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; response and background via ∫ J·F dℓ convolution; formulas in backticks; units follow HEP/SI.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: A_DN(E,t) ≈ A_0(E) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_density] · [1 + δa/a_0] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: A_DN(E,t) ← + A_year·cos(Ω_year t + ϕ_year) + A_week·cos(Ω_week t + ϕ_week)
• S03: P(θ_z | t) ∝ 1 + k_zenith·G(θ_z; θ_Coh, zeta_topo)
• S04: β_week(t) = β_0 + β_week·cos(Ω_week t + ϕ_β)
• S05: A_obs = A_DN ⊗ Resp(E,t) ⊕ Bkg(β_week, k_TBN)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 | Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path + k_SC provides multiplicative gain for mantle/core trajectories.
• P02 | Coherence/Response Limits: θ_Coh, ξ_RL bound observable co-variation windows and amplitudes.
• P03 | Topology/Recon: zeta_topo modulates zenith profiles and local-density inhomogeneities.
• P04 | Background Noise: k_TBN absorbs slow-drift pedestals from temperature/geomagnetics/tides.
• P05 | Terminal Point Rescaling: TPR preserves threshold uniformity across seasons and weekly shifts.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary
Coverage

• Platforms: ES solar-ν events (energy × zenith × time), calibration lines, run time series, Earth-density priors, environmental monitoring.
• Ranges: E ∈ [3, 15] MeV, θ_z ∈ [0, π]; t ≥ 3 years; Kp 0–7; tide ±1 m.
• Hierarchy: day/night × season × weekly phase × zenith × energy window × run period.

Pre-processing Pipeline

1. Response unification: joint regression of energy scale/resolution with day–night temperature drifts;
2. Change-point detection: identify annual/weekly turning points and phase drifts in A_DN;
3. Zenith–time GP: GP(t, θ_z) to extract smooth co-variation and residuals;
4. Multitask inversion: jointly infer {A_year, ϕ_year, A_week, ϕ_week, δa, k_zenith} with {γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh, ξ_RL};
5. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for scale/threshold/duty-cycle;
6. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): shared priors across (window/zenith/period), convergence via R̂<1.05 and IAT;
7. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and “leave-one-season / leave-one-week”.

VI. Summative Assessment
Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) integrates matter micro-perturbation / zenith weighting / operational–environmental cycles into one identifiable framework; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide annual/weekly sampling strategy, energy-window selection, and zenith binning.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: posteriors for A_year, A_week, δa, k_zenith are significant, separating geometric annual modulation from co-variation components; k_TBN captures slow-drift noise floors.
3. Operational utility: provides annual–weekly phase maps of A_DN(E,t) and background-correlation budgets, supporting run scheduling and systematics reduction.

Blind Spots

1. Low-energy end is sensitive to threshold/scale; weak collinearity may exist between A_week and duty-cycle.
2. Strong geomagnetic disturbances (Kp ≥ 6) can perturb k_TBN; dedicated anomaly windows are advisable.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: if framework parameters → 0 and the annual/weekly co-variation in A_DN vanishes leaving only the 1/R² flux term, while the mainstream model achieves ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is refuted.
2. Suggestions:
   • 2D phase maps: contours of A_DN in (E, θ_z) and (annual phase, weekly phase) to target most-sensitive windows;
   • Alternating shifts: balance weekday/weekend duty-cycle to reduce collinearity with A_week;
   • Refined density priors: include local 3D crustal corrections to constrain δa(t, θ_z);
   • Threshold invariance: enforce “threshold-preserving calibration” across seasons to stabilize low-energy year–week coupling.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Optional)

1. Dictionary: A_DN(E,t), A_year, ϕ_year, A_week, ϕ_week, δa, k_zenith, β_week, P(|⋯|>ε); units and symbols per headers.
2. Details:
   • Align annual/weekly phases to solar calendar and run-week sequences; use second derivative + change-point to detect phase turns;
   • total_least_squares + errors-in-variables to unify scale, threshold, duty-cycle, and environmental terms;
   • Hierarchical Bayes with shared priors across (window/zenith/period), R̂<1.05, adequate IAT;
   • Cross-validation bucketed by “year × week phase × energy window”.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one (annual/weekly) phase: removing any phase sector shifts core parameters by < 13% with RMSE change < 9%.
• Hierarchical robustness: increasing σ_env slightly raises A_week and lowers KS_p; A_year and δa remain >3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% scale/duty-cycle deformation slightly increases k_TBN; overall parameter drift < 11%.
• Prior sensitivity: with a_0 ~ N(3.5, 0.4^2)×10^-13 eV, posterior means of A_year/A_week change < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
