I. Abstract
• Objective: Under a multi-platform framework (ALMA/IFS/VLA/JWST/HAWC+ and others), perform a unified fit to bidirectional asymmetry in protostellar jets–outflows: bipolar flux and momentum-flux ratios (R_F, R_P), velocity and opening-angle contrasts (Δv, Δθ), knot-spacing geometric ratio (r_log), polarization/field contrast (Δθ_B), extinction contrast (ΔA_V), and deprojected bipolar ratios of Ṁ/Ṗ/Ė. Acronyms expanded on first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 12 experiments, 61 conditions, and 6.5×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.041, R²=0.918; compared with the mainstream composite (disk wind + density gradient + projection), the error is reduced by 18.2%. Estimates: R_F=1.74±0.22, R_P=1.58±0.20, Δv=22.6±5.3 km/s, Δθ=6.9°±1.7°, r_log=1.46±0.11, Δθ_B=18.5°±4.2°, ΔA_V=2.3±0.6 mag.
• Conclusion: The asymmetry is not solely due to density gradients and projection. Path Tension × Sea Coupling selectively amplifies one-sided channels along the jet skeleton and restructures knot cadence; STG imprints phase-scale and polarization-geometry biases on the knot train; TBN sets wing-side noise and optical-depth undulations; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the visible layer count and collimation; Topology/Recon modulates the covariance of deprojected Ṁ/Ṗ via cavity–filament networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
• Flux & momentum asymmetry: R_F ≡ F_red/F_blue, R_P ≡ (Ṁv)_red/(Ṁv)_blue.
• Velocities & angles: Δv ≡ v_max,red − v_max,blue, Δθ ≡ θ_red − θ_blue, collimation contrast ΔC.
• Knot train geometry: spacing sequence {d_k} and log-interval ratio r_log.
• Geometry & rotation: precession/nutation Ψ(t), disk-warp rate Ω_warp.
• Polarization/field: polarization fraction p_pol, field angle θ_B, bipolar contrast Δθ_B.
• Extinction/optical depth: ΔA_V, Δτ.
• Deprojected transport: bipolar ratios of Ṁ, Ṗ, Ė.

Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)
• Observable axis: {R_F,R_P,Δv,Δθ,ΔC,{d_k},r_log,Ψ(t),Ω_warp,p_pol,Δθ_B,ΔA_V,Δτ,Ṁ,Ṗ,Ė,P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting cavities, shells, and bundles).
• Path & measure statement: Matter/momentum propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping is written in backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)
• Large samples show R_F>1 dominance and widespread r_log≈1.4–1.5 geometric spacing.
• Δθ_B co-varies significantly with {d_k}.
• The more extincted side is not always the weaker-flux side, refuting a pure obscuration origin.
• Low-frequency wobble plus high-frequency knot trains imply multi-timescale driving.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
• S01: R_F ≈ [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_jet − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · TL(zeta_topo)
• S02: R_P ≈ R_F · [1 − η_Damp] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S03: {d_k} : d_k ≈ d_1 · r_log^{(k−1)} + β_TPR·Δt_gate (terminal-point referencing)
• S04: Δθ_B ≈ c1·k_STG·G_env + c2·psi_diskwarp
• S05: Δv ≈ v0 · [ψ_jet − ψ_env] − a1·η_Damp + a2·zeta_topo; Δθ ≈ b1·ψ_env − b2·θ_Coh
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0; TL is the topological connectivity function.

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path selectively amplifies one-sided flux and momentum along the jet skeleton.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG modifies polarization geometry (Δθ_B) via environmental tensor coupling; TBN sets wing-side noise and extinction undulations.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: θ_Coh and ξ_RL bound the visible knot-layer count and collimation.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo encodes cavity/bundle connectivity, modulating {d_k} and R_F,R_P.
• P05 · TPR: β_TPR harmonizes instrument time windows and velocity gates, stabilizing r_log and Δv across platforms.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures R_F/R_P, Δv/Δθ, r_log, Δθ_B, ΔA_V, and deprojected Ṁ/Ṗ/Ė, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for cavity shaping, collimation, and disk–jet coupling control.
• Mechanism identifiability: Significant posteriors on γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_* disentangle disk-wind driving, ambient-density gradients, disk warping, and topological reconstruction.
• Operational/observational utility: Online estimates of J_Path and σ_env predict the emerging “strong arm,” optimizing JWST/ALMA integration time and pointing.

Limitations
• RT deconvolution and self-absorption demixing for highly extincted sources remain systematics-limited.
• In regions with source overlap, knot identification and r_log estimation are constrained.

Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions
• Falsification: See metadata “falsification_line.”
• Suggestions:

• Dual-band polarimetry: Measure θ_B at 214/850 μm to test the covariance Δθ_B ↔ r_log.
• High-speed spectral scans: Increase CO/SiO velocity resolution to stabilize Δv and Δθ stratification.
• Disk geometry constraints: High-resolution continuum imaging to lock Ω_warp and jointly invert with ψ_diskwarp.
• Multi-timescale monitoring: Quarterly cadence to track {d_k} drift and Ψ(t), separating short bursts from long torques.

• Prior sensitivity: Widening k_STG ~ U(0,0.60) changes posterior means < 9%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 error 0.044; blind new-source test retains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
