I. Abstract

Objective. Provide a unified fit of anomalous spectral-energy-distribution (SED) peak shifts in GRB/AGN flares—anti-correlated, superlinear, and reversal segments of ν_peak(t)—and evaluate the EFT synergy Recon × STG × TPR × Topology × Path × CoherenceWindow × Damping/ResponseLimit against one-zone/two-zone and log-parabola baselines.

Data. Six-track LAT/XRT/UVOT/NuSTAR/IACT/ALMA–GMRT sample with aligned bands/responses; anomalous segments flagged by change-point detection and fit hierarchically.

Key results. A single EFT parameter set reproduces Δlog ν_peak, β_drift, sign distribution of Sν, b_s/b_c–peak-height covariance, τ_lag & Coh/φ, and P(CD | drift), outperforming baselines across AIC/BIC/chi2_per_dof/R2/KS_p.

Mechanism. Intermittent Recon injection under STG/TPR constraints modulates acceleration/cooling; Topology steers external-field geometry (xi_ext) and field orientation (psi_topo) to trigger anti-shifts or reversals; Path adds LOS weighting; τ_CW maintains phase locking; η_Damp/ζ_RL limit HE kernels and extreme drifts.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

(A) Working definitions of anomalous drift

Anti-correlation: Sν = d(log ν_peak)/d(log F) < 0.

Reversal: non-monotonic ν_peak within a single flare.

Superlinear: |d(log ν_peak)/dt| exceeding the empirical envelope (quantile threshold).

(B) Measures & targets

Peaks (ν_s,peak, ν_c,peak), curvatures (b_s, b_c), peak height (νFν_peak), coupling slope Sν, drift rate β_drift, coherence/phase (Coh(f), φ(f)), lag τ_lag(ν_peak↔F), and P(CD | drift).

(C) Unified processing

Quasi-simultaneous SED windows; consistent EBL de-absorption at HE; change-point marking of anomalous intervals; weighted quantiles/CI; survival likelihood for censored points.

III. EFT Modeling

(A) Peak evolution & coupling (plain text)

log ν_s,peak(t) = log ν_s,0 + A_s·η_acc(t) + h_s(xi_ext, psi_topo) − η_Damp·Δt

log ν_c,peak(t) = log ν_c,0 + A_c·η_acc(t) + h_c(xi_ext, psi_topo) − ζ_KN(zeta_RL)

Acceleration efficiency η_acc(t) = f(k_Recon, k_STG, TPR) (monotonic in Recon/STG).

Coupling slope:
Sν = [∂ log ν_peak/∂ η_acc] / [∂ log F/∂ η_acc] + Ξ(Path); negative Sν arises when Ξ(Path) < 0 and xi_ext dominates.

(B) Time–frequency kernel & coherence window

T(f) = 1 / √(1 + (2π f τ_CW)^2) · exp(−η_Damp / (2π f));

τ_lag(ν_peak↔F) set jointly by h_s/h_c and T(f).

(C) Path & measures

F_obs(t,E) = [ ∫_LOS w(s,E) · F_int(t − Δt_s, E) ds ] / ∫_LOS w ds, with w(s,E) including geometry/external-field share xi_ext.

Peak location via log-parabola/physical mixed models; Sν, β_drift via piecewise-linear/GP derivatives; Coh/φ from cross spectra.

IV. Data & Processing

(A) Partitions

LAT/IACT: IC peak & HE limits (KN/γγ).

XRT/NuSTAR: synchrotron shoulder & hard-X curvature.

UVOT/ALMA–GMRT: low-energy baseline & external geometry checks.

(B) QC

Unified bands/responses; EBL/effective-area cross-calibration; change-point + dual (template/physical) fits; CCF deconvolution & cross-spectra; hierarchical priors; log-symmetric uncertainties.

(C) Metrics & targets

Fit metrics: RMSE, R2, AIC, BIC, chi2_per_dof, KS_p.

Targets: Δlog ν_peak, β_drift, Sν, b_s/b_c–peak, τ_lag, Coh/φ, P(CD | drift).

VI. Summative Evaluation

Mechanistic coherence. EFT integrates Recon injections, STG/TPR coupling, Topology geometry, Path LOS weighting, and a finite coherence window (τ_CW) with damping/upper bounds (η_Damp/ζ_RL) to generate anti-correlation, reversals, and superlinear peak drifts—yielding testable predictions.

Statistical performance. Across six datasets, a single parameter set reproduces drift amplitudes/rates, peak–flux coupling, curvature–peak covariance, and frequency-domain coherence/phase, surpassing baselines.

Parsimony. {k_Recon, k_STG, xi_acc, xi_ext, tau_CW, eta_Damp, gamma_Path, zeta_RL, psi_topo} provides a minimal, unified description linking dynamics–geometry–coherence–limits.
