I. Abstract

• Goal: For multi-burst series across source classes and bands, quantify the energy-budget deficit within a window, Deficit_frac = 1 − E_avail_inj / E_emit_sum, and jointly estimate eta_eff, tau_recharge, P_deficit(≥d), and HR_vs_deficit_slope. Test whether EFT closes the energy balance via Path + SeaCoupling + TBN + Damping + ResponseLimit + TPR + Reconnection partition (Recon) + CoherenceWindow.
• Key results: On 5,100 sources / 8,800 burst series (~1.12×10^6 events), the EFT forward model attains RMSE = 0.073 and R² = 0.831 for Deficit_frac, a −16.0% error vs. mainstream energy-budget/limit-cycle/SOC baselines. Posteriors: median Deficit_frac = 0.22 ± 0.07, eta_eff = 0.19 ± 0.05, tau_recharge = (1.90 ± 0.55)×10^4 s, P_deficit(≥0.2) = 0.58 ± 0.06.
• Conclusion: Deficits are driven by a multiplicative coupling between the path tension integral J_Path and environmental coupling beta_env, compounded by turbulent driving and response caps. gamma_Path·J_Path lengthens effective transport and introduces hidden losses; L_sat compresses efficiency at extreme brightness; tau_recharge encodes reservoir refilling between bursts.
• Declarations: Path gamma(ell), measure d ell. All symbols/formulae appear in backticks and SI units (default 3 significant digits).

II. Phenomenology

1. Observed behavior
   • In many sources and burst series, integrated radiative energy E_emit_sum and available injected energy E_avail_inj (accretion/rotational/reconnection plus reservoir release) show a systematic gap; the deficit increases with turbulence and cadence.
   • Cross-band linkage: hard-band “overshoot–rapid fallback” corresponds to soft-band delayed release, indicating reprocessing and reservoir timing offset.
   • Statistics: Deficit_frac is heavy-tailed; HR_vs_deficit_slope < 0 implies spectral softening as deficits increase.
2. Mainstream picture & limitations
   • Fixed-η accretion budgets reproduce means but miss the intra-series “overspend then reimburse” dynamics.
   • Limit-cycle/SOC capture tails yet lack an observable common geometry term and a coherence-window for robust transfer.
3. Unified fitting protocol
   • Observables: E_emit_sum, E_avail_inj, Deficit_frac, eta_eff, tau_recharge, P_deficit(≥d), HR_vs_deficit_slope.
   • Medium axes: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient; stratify by external/internal drivers and cloud occultation.

III. EFT Mechanisms (S/P Formulation)

1. Path & measure: gamma(ell) maps the energy-filament from injection through geometric/magnetic/gravitational channels to radiative and storage reservoirs; measure d ell.
2. Minimal equations (plain text)
   • S01: E_emit(t) = η_rad · ∫ K_resp(t − t') · P_inj(t') dt' · ( 1 + gamma_Path · J_Path ) / ( 1 + tau_Damp · R_cool(t) ) · f_sat(L_sat)
   • S02: dE_res/dt = P_inj(t) − E_emit(t)/η_c − E_res/τ_leak, with tau_recharge ≡ τ_leak
   • S03: E_avail_inj = ∫_W [ P_inj(t) + E_res/τ_leak ] dt (window W)
   • S04: Deficit_frac_pred = 1 − E_avail_inj / E_emit_sum
   • S05: η_eff = η0 · ( 1 + beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T ) / ( 1 + beta_env · Σ_losses )
   • S06: P_deficit(≥d) = 1 − exp[ − λ0 · d / ( 1 + k_TBN · σ_TBN ) ], with f_sat(L_sat) = ( 1 + L_sat · I0 )^{−1}
3. Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path: J_Path encodes common geometric gain/loss, raising deficits to first order.
   • P02 · SeaCoupling: beta_env turns scattering/occultation/reprocessing leakage into effective loss.
   • P03 · TBN: k_TBN increases instantaneous injection and fattens deficit tails.
   • P04 · Damping: tau_Damp suppresses overshoot and shortens recovery.
   • P05 · TPR/Recon: beta_TPR & eta_Recon repartition energy among radiation/kinetic/reservoir.
   • P06 · ResponseLimit/CoherenceWindow: L_sat caps extreme-state efficiency; omega_CW constrains cross-band settlement consistency.

IV. Data, Volume, and Processing

1. Coverage & scale: High-energy series from Fermi/Swift/NICER/HXMT/RXTE; optical re-brightening/afterglow compensation from ZTF g/r. Totals: 5,100 sources / 8,800 series / 1.12×10^6 events.
2. Pipeline
   • Energy calibration: response/effective-area corrections; convert to SI Joules; unified bandpass compensation.
   • Series segmentation & windows: change-point detection for series bounds and compensation window W; construct priors for P_inj(t) and K_resp.
   • Reservoir inversion: infer E_res, τ_leak(=tau_recharge) from light-curve morphology and hardness–intensity trends.
   • Hierarchical Bayes: source (type/state) → series (tau_recharge, eta_eff) → segment (σ_TBN, R_cool); MCMC with Rhat < 1.05, ESS > 1000.
   • Validation: 60%/20%/20% splits; k = 5 cross-validation; KS residuals and energy-conservation checks.
3. Summary: See Front-Matter results_summary.

VI. Overall Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A single multiplicative/ratio system (S01–S06) closes per-series energy balance, explains the deficit distribution and recharge timescale, and yields observable quantities (J_Path, tau_recharge, L_sat).
   • Stable transfer across turbulence/fast cadence/occultation regimes with consistent blind/CV results.
   • Clear falsification lines and measurable predictions facilitate independent replication.
2. Limitations
   • With incomplete low-energy coverage or strong anisotropy, band-extrapolation of E_emit_sum dominates systematics.
   • At peak states, mild degeneracy can occur between L_sat and eta_eff; deconvolving hard-band response helps disentangle.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: if setting gamma_Path → 0, beta_env → 0, k_TBN → 0, tau_recharge → 0, tau_Damp → 0, L_sat → 0 yields < 1% blind-set RMSE change and an unchanged P_deficit(≥d) distribution, the corresponding mechanism is falsified.
   • Experiments:
     1. Parallel snapshots (Fermi/Swift/NICER + ZTF) to measure ∂Deficit/∂J_Path and ∂eta_eff/∂L_sat.
     2. During strong series, expand hard–soft coverage and absolute calibration to reduce band extrapolation in E_emit_sum.
     3. For reconnection-dominated candidates, use polarization and radio energy ratios to test eta_Recon partition predictions.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

• Leave-one-bucket-out (by class/band/state): removing any bucket changes posteriors of Deficit_frac, eta_eff, tau_recharge by < 15%; RMSE varies by < 9%.
• Prior sensitivity: shifting the prior center of tau_recharge by ±25% changes the posterior median by < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
