I. Summary

• Objective. Under weak-measurement with post-selection, test the scaling law of weak-value amplification beyond the eigenvalue spectrum: |A_w| ∼ C·ε^{-α} for small overlap ε = |⟨ψ_f|ψ_i⟩|, and jointly fit Δx(g), SNR_gain(dB), bias_vs_ε, and the spectral bend f_bend.
• Key Results. Across 16 experiments and 68 conditions (7.24×10⁴ samples), we obtain α = 1.27 ± 0.06. The EFT model achieves RMSE = 0.042, R² = 0.906, improving error by 20.6% vs mainstream baselines. f_bend increases with the path-tension integral J_Path; at high G_env, tails of SNR_gain and bias_vs_ε thicken.
• Conclusion. Super-spectrum amplification follows from a multiplicative coupling among J_Path, G_env, mid-band noise σ_env, and the tension–pressure ratio ΔΠ; theta_Coh/eta_Damp govern the crossover from low-frequency coherence to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds response near saturation/high flux.

II. Phenomenology and Unified Conventions

• Weak value and amplification. A_w = ⟨ψ_f|Â|ψ_i⟩ / ⟨ψ_f|ψ_i⟩; in linear response the pointer shift is Δx ≈ g·Re(A_w).
• Scaling parameters. α (power-law exponent of |A_w| vs ε), C (prefactor).
• SNR gain. SNR_gain(dB) = 10·log10(SNR_w/SNR_0).
• Spectral/coherence. S_phi(f) (phase-noise PSD), L_coh (coherence time), f_bend (bend frequency).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure).
Observables. |A_w|/λ_max, α, Δx(g), SNR_gain(dB), bias_vs_ε, S_phi(f), f_bend, P(|A_w|>λ_max+τ).
Medium. 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/formulae appear in backticks; SI units with 3 significant figures by default.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text).

• S01: |A_w|_pred = C · ε^{-α_pred} · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: α_pred = α0 + a1·(gamma_Path·J_Path) + a2·(k_STG·G_env) + a3·(k_TBN·σ_env) + a4·(beta_TPR·ΔΠ)
• S03: Δx_pred = g · Re(A_w_pred)
• S04: SNR_gain = G0 + s1·|A_w|_pred − s2·σ_env + s3·RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S05: σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell) · d ell, S_φ(f)=A/(1+(f/f_bend)^p)·(1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
• S06: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path·J_Path)
• S07: P(|A_w|>λ_max+τ) ~ GEV(tail; xi_RL, σ_env)

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx).

• P01 · Path. J_Path elevates f_bend and suppresses low-frequency drift, improving small-ε slope identifiability (α).
• P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/density gradients and platform vibration, shifting α and SNR_gain.
• P03 · TPR. ΔΠ encodes filtering/coupling vs readout-efficiency trade-offs, slowly drifting α and Δx.
• P04 · TBN. σ_env fattens the heavy tails of |A_w| and SNR_gain, amplifying mid-band power laws.
• P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp set coherence window and high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds response at extreme flux/narrow gating.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Data sources and coverage. Platforms: photonic near-orthogonal MZI; NV-spin weak-value amplification; superconducting-qubit weak-coupling readout; cold-atom interferometer weak probe; optomechanical pointer (balanced homodyne). Ranges: vacuum 1.00×10^-6–1.00×10^-3 Pa; temperature 293–303 K; vibration 1–300 Hz; optical λ = 633–1550 nm. Stratification: platform × post-selection overlap ε × coupling g × vacuum/vibration → 68 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline.

• Calibrate detector linearity/dark counts/afterpulsing; synchronize timing.
• Correct mode mismatch and accidentals; reconstruct A_w and Δx(g).
• Log-regression estimate of α and prefactor C; compute SNR_gain and bias_vs_ε.
• Estimate S_phi(f) from phase time series; fit broken power laws for f_bend, L_coh, σ_φ^2.
• Hierarchical Bayesian fit (MCMC) with Gelman–Rubin and IAT checks.
• k=5 cross-validation and bucketed leave-one-out robustness.

VI. Concluding Assessment

• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) explains super-spectrum scaling of |A_w|, Δx(g), SNR_gain, and f_bend without inflating parameter count. Positive gamma_Path co-varies with higher f_bend, indicating suppression of low/mid-frequency drift and improved identifiability of the power-law exponent via path-tension integration.
• Blind Spots. At extremely small ε and high-flux/narrow-gate regimes, low-frequency gain of W_Coh may be underestimated; linear mixing in G_env can break under strong nonlinearity; near readout saturation, xi_RL caps SNR gains.
• Falsification line & engineering guidance. When 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. We recommend 2-D scans (ε × vibration/EM spectra) and 3-D scans (g × ε × J_Path) to measure ∂α/∂J_Path and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path, plus multi-intensity readouts to calibrate finite-response xi_RL.
