I. Summary

Objective. For GHZ-state phase locking, quantify and fit the lock-phase residual e_phi_lock and the instability horizon tau_lock, and jointly explain the parity-oscillation contrast C_parity, the Mermin witness Mermin_M, the phase-noise spectrum S_phi(f), the coherence time L_coh, and the bend frequency f_bend.
Key Results. Across 16 experiments, 68 conditions, and 6.98×10^4 grouped samples, the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.903, improving error by 21.0% versus mainstream baselines (Mermin/GHZ witnesses + Lindblad dephasing + correlated 1/f noise + PLL-Langevin). f_bend increases with the path-tension integral J_Path; tau_lock shortens under stronger G_env.
Conclusion. Phase-lock instability arises from a multiplicative coupling among J_Path, the environmental tension-gradient index G_env, perturbation strength σ_env, and the tension–pressure ratio ΔΠ. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the transition from low-frequency coherence preservation to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds responses at high flux/strong coupling.

II. Phenomenology and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

Lock-phase residual: e_phi_lock = φ_meas − φ_ref (rad).
Lock horizon: tau_lock, longest dwell time within threshold after lock (s).
Oscillation & witness: C_parity (GHZ parity-oscillation contrast), Mermin_M (multi-party GHZ witness).
Spectral/coherence: S_phi(f) (rad²·Hz⁻¹), L_coh (s), f_bend (Hz).

Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observables axis. e_phi_lock, tau_lock, C_parity, Mermin_M, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, P(|e_phi_lock|>τ).
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration. Propagation path gamma(ell) with line-element measure d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell, t) d ell. All symbols and formulae are set in backticks; SI units with 3 significant figures by default.

Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)

With increased pump/LO drift, crosstalk, or EM/magnetic noise: heavy tails in e_phi_lock, reduced C_parity, degraded Mermin_M, and shorter tau_lock.
S_phi(f) typically bends at 10–30 Hz; higher G_env correlates with upward f_bend and shorter L_coh.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: e_phi_lock = e0 · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · (1 + k_TBN · σ_env) / (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S02: C_parity = C0 · exp(-σ_φ^2/2) · (1 + beta_TPR · ΔΠ) · (1 + k_STG · G_env)
S03: Mermin_M = M0 · exp(-σ_φ^2/2) · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S04: σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell) · d ell, S_φ(f) = A / (1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN · σ_env)
S05: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S06: tau_lock = g(σ_φ^2, theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL; threshold) (first-pass/threshold-crossing statistic)
S07: G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·EM_drift + b4·a_vib + b5·crosstalk (dimensionless normalized terms)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. J_Path lifts f_bend and suppresses effective low-frequency noise, improving lock robustness.
P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/density gradients, EM drift, platform vibration, and crosstalk, amplifying instability.
P03 · TPR. ΔΠ (filtering/coupling vs readout efficiency) modulates C_parity and Mermin_M.
P04 · TBN. σ_env fattens mid-band power-law tails of e_phi_lock and S_phi(f).
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the coherence window and high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds responses at extreme flux/coupling.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly explains GHZ lock-phase residuals, parity-contrast, witness degradation, and spectral bends; parameters retain clear physical/engineering meaning.
G_env unifies thermal/density gradients, EM drift, vibration, and crosstalk as a common driver across platforms/conditions; positive gamma_Path coheres with upward-shifted f_bend.
Engineering utility: adapt phase reference, gate/readout gain, and shielding/decoupling via G_env, σ_env, and ΔΠ to extend tau_lock while compressing the tail of e_phi_lock.

Blind Spots

At extreme flux/strong coupling, low-frequency gain of W_Coh may be underestimated; linear mixing in G_env may be insufficient under strong nonlinearity.
Device afterpulsing/dead-time and phase-reference nonlinearity are only first-order absorbed by σ_env; device terms and non-Gaussian corrections are warranted.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line. If gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, xi_RL→0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanisms are falsified.
Suggested experiments.
- 2-D scans (phase-injection amplitude × vibration/EM spectra) to measure ∂tau_lock/∂G_env and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path;
- Multi-reference/redundant locking and weak-measurement controls to disentangle ΔΠ from readout invasiveness;
- Increase reference stability and time resolution to resolve mid-band slopes and short-time excursions.
