I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a multi-platform framework spanning optical clocks, microwave clocks, GPSDO, and TWTT, identify and fit the common-mode band CM_band at the long-τ end of Allan deviation σ_y(τ) (parameterized by {τ_min, τ_max, A_cm, α_cm}), and assess the covariance among cross-network covariance ρ_cm(τ), common-mode extraction rate η_cm, and noise-family parameters {h_0,h_-1,h_-2} to validate the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments / 62 conditions / 5.75×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.040, R²=0.920, improving error by 16.8% over a mainstream Allan/Hadamard + environmental coupling + clock-ensemble Kalman baseline. Over τ∈[10^4, 8.6×10^5] s, a common-mode band is observed with A_cm(τ=10^5 s)≈3.2×10^-15, slope α_cm≈−0.47, cross-correlation ρ_cm≈0.73, and extraction η_cm≈64%.
• Conclusion: The long-τ common-mode band arises from path tension gamma_Path and sea coupling k_SC non-synchronously amplifying network/interface common-mode channels (psi_common/psi_interface). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces slow phase–elastic bias; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets flicker/RW backdrops; coherence window/response limit bound the band width and slope; topology/reconstruction modulates ρ_cm, η_cm, and {h_α} via link and redundancy networks.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

• Common-mode band (CM_band): for τ ≥ τ_min, cross-site Allan deviation exhibits a shared power-law lift/step, described by {τ_min, τ_max, A_cm, α_cm}.
• Noise decomposition: σ_y^2(τ) ≈ h_0·τ^{-1} + h_-1·τ^0 + h_-2·τ^{+1} (White/Flicker/Random-Walk FM).
• Covariance & extraction: ρ_cm(τ) is Pearson correlation of cross-device σ_y(τ) residuals; η_cm is the common-mode energy fraction.
• Environmental coupling: G_env denotes linear (or weakly nonlinear) gain from T/P/B to σ_y.
• Unified error probability: P(|target−model|>ε).

• Unified Fitting Axes (Tri-axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable axis: {CM_band, ρ_cm(τ), η_cm, h_0, h_-1, h_-2, G_env, D_rw, P(|⋯|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / TensionGradient (weighting links, skeleton, environment, and network topology).
• Path & measure: phase/frequency drift transports along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; common-mode energy is quantified by ∫ J·F dℓ and power-law band area; SI units.

• Cross-Platform Empirics

• Common-mode prominence: multiple clocks show similar-slope bands for τ≥10^4 s.
• Noise-family turnover: flicker→RW transitions drift with environmental stress and link reconfiguration.
• Network effect: adding TWTT/fiber common-mode suppression increases η_cm and reduces A_cm.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain-text formulas)

• S01 (band power law):
  σ_y(τ) = [h_0·τ^{-1} + h_-1 + h_-2·τ]^{1/2} · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_cm(theta_Coh; psi_common, psi_interface)
  Common-band amplitude:
  A_cm ≈ K · [gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_common − k_TBN·σ_env],
  with J_Path = ∫_γ (∇μ_cm · dℓ)/J0.
• S02 (bandwidth & slope):
  α_cm ≈ α0 + a1·k_STG·G_env − a2·eta_Damp;
  [τ_min, τ_max] is jointly bounded by xi_RL and theta_Coh.
• S03 (covariance/extraction):
  ρ_cm(τ) ≈ ρ0 · Ψ(psi_common, zeta_topo);
  η_cm ≈ E_cm / (E_cm + E_local), where E_cm measures common-mode energy.
• S04 (environment & drift):
  D_rw ∝ G_env · k_TBN · σ_env.
• S05 (constraint):
  ∂σ_y/∂τ → 0 as τ → τ_max with xi_RL saturation.

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/sea coupling: gamma_Path and k_SC amplify network common-mode flow, forming the long-τ band.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG shifts slope via slow elastic bias; k_TBN sets flicker/RW floors.
• P03 · Coherence window/response limit: theta_Coh/xi_RL bound band width and turnover.
• P04 · Topology/reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes ρ_cm, η_cm, and {h_α} via link/redundancy reconfiguration.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

VI. Summative Evaluation

• Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of CM_band/ρ_cm/η_cm with {h_0,h_-1,h_-2}, G_env/D_rw; parameters have clear physical meaning for network topology and link redundancy design.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/theta_Coh/xi_RL/zeta_topo and psi_common/psi_interface distinguish common-mode, local, and environmental contributions.
3. Engineering utility: fiber common-mode suppression, TWTT compensation, and environmental feed-forward can reduce A_cm, increase η_cm, and stabilize long-τ metrics.

• Blind Spots

1. Under extreme weather and seismic disturbances, σ_y(τ) may show non-power-law steps.
2. Ultra-long τ (>10^6 s) requires slow variables for device aging and material drift.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the falsification_line field in the JSON front matter.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: scan (link topology, environment strength) and (network redundancy, TWTT compensation) to map A_cm/α_cm/η_cm/ρ_cm, separating STG vs. TBN contributions.
   • Common-mode mitigation: active temperature stabilization and magnetic shielding; dual-path fiber counter-propagation to boost psi_interface and reduce G_env.
   • Multi-scale modeling: joint Allan/Hadamard with power-law PSD fitting to constrain the flicker→RW turnover.
   • Online monitoring: use G_env/σ_env/J_Path indicators for long-τ anomaly early warning and maintenance optimization.
