I. Abstract

• Objective. On fiber-optic gyros (FOG), ring-laser gyros (RLG), and integrated Sagnac MZI platforms, measure and fit the asymmetric phase drift Delta_phi_asym(t)—the CW/CCW differential after subtracting ideal Sagnac and standard corrections—and test whether EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TBN/TPR/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit) jointly explain Delta_phi_asym, the phase-noise spectrum S_phi(f), coherence length L_coh, and bend frequency f_bend.
• Key results. Across 15 experiments and 72 conditions, hierarchical fitting yields RMSE = 0.040, R² = 0.918, a 21.9% error reduction versus the mainstream baseline (ideal Sagnac + Shupe/Kerr/backscatter/dispersion corrections). Posterior gamma_Path > 0 correlates with an upward shift in f_bend; under strong thermal gradients and mechanical vibration, L_coh shortens markedly.
• Conclusion. Delta_phi_asym is dominated by the weighted sum of the path-tension integral J_Path and the environmental tension-gradient index G_env; k_TBN thickens mid-band spectra and tails, while xi_RL bounds extreme responses. theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the transition from low-frequency coherence hold to high-frequency roll-off.

II. Observables and Unified Stance

1. Observables & complements
   • Asymmetric residual: Delta_phi_asym = (φ_CW − φ_CCW) − (Δφ_Sagnac + φ_corr), with φ_corr including Earth-rotation projection, Kerr, Shupe thermal gradient, backscatter/self-mixing, and dispersion terms.
   • Noise & coherence: S_phi(f), L_coh, spectral bend f_bend, drift rate phi_dot_drift, visibility ratio R_vis, exceedance probability P(|Delta_phi_asym|>τ).
2. Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)
   • Observables axis: Delta_phi_asym, phi_dot_drift, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, R_vis, P(|Delta_phi_asym|>τ).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & measure: propagation path gamma(ell) with arc-length measure d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t)·d ell. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units use 3 significant figures.
3. Empirical regularities (cross-platform)
   • Larger thermal/stress gradients and vibration amplitude increase |Delta_phi_asym|, push f_bend upward, and shorten L_coh; backscatter/self-mixing amplify low-frequency nonreciprocal bias.
   • Joint variations of Earth rotation Ω and thermal drift produce a separable slow component with diurnal modulation in phi_dot_drift.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: Delta_phi_asym = φ0 · [ gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env ] · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
   • S02: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·d ell)/J0 (tension potential T, normalization J0)
   • S03: G_env = a1·∇T_thermal + a2·∇σ_stress + a3·a_vib + a4·Ω_norm + a5·EM_drift (dimensionless aggregate)
   • S04: S_phi(f) = A/(1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
   • S05: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path·J_Path)
   • S06: R_vis = R0 · E_align(beta_TPR; ε) · exp(−σ_φ^2/2), with σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell)·d ell
   • S07: phi_dot_drift = b1·∂G_env/∂t + b2·∂J_Path/∂t
2. Mechanism notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path. J_Path lifts f_bend and tilts the low-frequency slope of S_phi(f), shaping the spectral turnover of nonreciprocal residuals.
   • P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/stress/vibration/rotation/EM drifts that drive nonreciprocity, amplifying Delta_phi_asym.
   • P03 · TPR. Alignment mismatch ε via E_align lowers visibility and enlarges residuals through a multiplicative channel.
   • P04 · TBN. Environmental spread σ_env thickens mid-band power laws and non-Gaussian tails, reducing KS_p.
   • P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the coherence window and high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL caps extreme responses.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

1. Coverage
   • Platforms: fiber-optic gyro (FOG), ring-laser gyro (RLG), integrated waveguide Sagnac-MZI.
   • Environment: vacuum 1.00e−6–1.00e−3 Pa, temperature 293–303 K, vibration 1–500 Hz, rotation Ω = 7.29e−5 s^−1 (normalized into G_env); controlled thermal gradients and tensile stress.
   • Stratification: device type × rotation rate × thermal/mechanical/vibration gradients × backscatter level × alignment error → 72 conditions.
2. Pre-processing
   • Calibration: bias/scale factor, group delay, detector nonlinearity, backscatter suppression.
   • Mainstream subtraction: compute and subtract Δφ_Sagnac plus Shupe/Kerr/dispersion/backscatter corrections to obtain Delta_phi_asym.
   • Spectra & correlation: estimate S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh, and phi_dot_drift from time series; build a hierarchical joint likelihood.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian: MCMC with Gelman–Rubin and IAT convergence; Kalman state-space for slow drifts.
   • Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-out checks.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A single multiplicative/additive structure (S01–S07) jointly explains the coupling among asymmetric phase residuals, spectral bend, coherence length, and drift rate, with parameters carrying clear physical and engineering meaning.
   • G_env aggregates thermal/stress/vibration/rotation/EM drifts and reproduces cross-platform regularities; posterior gamma_Path > 0 aligns with the uplift of f_bend.
   • Engineering utility. Adaptive choices for integration time, thermal/stress balancing, vibration mitigation, and backscatter suppression based on G_env, σ_env, and ε reduce nonreciprocal bias.
2. Limitations
   • Under extreme backscatter or strong thermal convection, the low-frequency gain of W_Coh may be underestimated; the quadratic approximation in E_align can be insufficient under large misalignment.
   • Device- and position-specific intracavity coupling terms are partly absorbed by σ_env; non-Gaussian/device-specific corrections are recommended.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification line. When gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, xi_RL→0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanism is falsified.
   • Suggestions.
     1. 2-D scans (thermal gradient × vibration): measure ∂Delta_phi_asym/∂J_Path and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path.
     2. Backscatter vs. dispersion orthogonal tests: at fixed Ω, vary backscatter and dispersion spectra to separate k_TBN from device terms.
     3. Long time-series (day/week): separate Ω and thermal drifts; test identifiability and stability of phi_dot_drift.
