I. Abstract

• Objective. Within the weak-measurement framework (AAV weak values with postselection), quantify trajectory reconstruction in double-slit/ring/MZI systems and fit the true-path deviation Delta_path—the normalized deviation of the reconstructed trajectory from a “true-path” baseline—together with R_recon, the phase-noise spectrum S_phi(f), the coherence length L_coh, and the bend frequency f_bend.
• Key results. A hierarchical fit across 16 experiments and 72 conditions yields RMSE = 0.040, R² = 0.919, improving error by 21.8% against the mainstream baseline (weak-value/pointer models + Bohmian/tomographic reconstructions + standard postselection bias). Posterior gamma_Path > 0 correlates with upward shifts in f_bend; under high G_env, R_recon drops while Delta_path increases.
• Conclusion. Delta_path is dominated by a weighted combination of the path-tension integral J_Path and the environmental tension-gradient index G_env. beta_TPR captures alignment/device mismatch via the reconstruction-gain channel; k_TBN thickens mid-band power laws and tails; theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the transition from low-frequency coherence hold to high-frequency roll-off, while xi_RL bounds extreme responses.

II. Observables and Unified Stance

1. Observables & complements
   • Path deviation: Delta_path = ⟨|r_recon(ell) − r_true(ell)|⟩ / L.
   • Reconstruction ratio: R_recon = 1 − Delta_path.
   • Coherence & spectra: S_phi(f), L_coh, spectral bend f_bend; drift rate: phi_dot_drift; visibility ratio: R_vis; exceedance probability: P(|Delta_path|>τ).
2. Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)
   • Observables axis: Delta_path, R_recon, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, phi_dot_drift, R_vis, P(|Delta_path|>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)
   Smaller postselection overlap or larger coupling mismatch ε increases the reconstruction deviation. Rising ∇T/stress/vibration raises f_bend, reduces L_coh, and lowers R_recon.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: Delta_path = Δ0 · [ 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) − E_recon(beta_TPR; ε) · Δ_alg
   • S02: E_recon(beta_TPR; ε) = 1 − c1·ε^2 − c2·G_env (reconstruction gain constrained by beta_TPR)
   • S03: R_recon = 1 − Delta_path
   • S04: S_φ(f) = A/(1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
   • S05: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path·J_Path)
   • S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (tension potential T, normalization J0)
   • S07: phi_dot_drift = b1·∂G_env/∂t + b2·∂J_Path/∂t
2. Mechanism notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path. J_Path sets a non-dispersive base term of trajectory deviation and lifts f_bend.
   • P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/stress/vibration/EM drifts that impact reconstruction fidelity.
   • P03 · TPR. The gain E_recon maps alignment/device error ε into Delta_path and R_vis.
   • P04 · TBN. Environmental spread σ_env thickens mid-band power laws and non-Gaussian tails, raising exceedance risk.
   • P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh & 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: free-space double-slit weak probe; MZI phase weak measurement; Sagnac weak meter; integrated waveguide weak coupler.
   • Environment: vacuum 1.00e−6–1.00e−3 Pa, temperature 293–303 K, vibration 1–500 Hz, stress gradient 0–0.20 MPa·m^−1.
   • Stratification: scenario × coupling strength × postselection overlap × thermal/stress/vibration gradients × alignment error → 72 conditions.
2. Pre-processing
   • Calibration: detector linearity/dark counts/time windows; weak-coupling coefficients and postselection overlap.
   • Baseline subtraction: compute mainstream Δ_alg (weak-value/tomographic/Bohmian baseline) and subtract to obtain Delta_path.
   • Spectra & coherence: from time series estimate S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh, and phi_dot_drift; derive R_recon and exceedance probability.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian: MCMC (Gelman–Rubin, IAT convergence); state-space Kalman for slow drifts.
   • Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-out evaluation.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A unified multiplicative/additive structure (S01–S07) explains the coupling among reconstruction deviation, coherence length, spectral bend, and visibility, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning.
   • G_env aggregates external gradients (thermal, stress, vibration, EM drift) and reproduces cross-platform regularities; posterior gamma_Path > 0 aligns with the uplift of f_bend.
   • Engineering utility. Adaptive settings of weak-coupling strength and postselection thresholds based on G_env, σ_env, and ε improve R_recon and R_vis while suppressing Delta_path.
2. Limitations
   • Under extremely weak coupling or very low postselection overlap, the low-frequency gain of W_Coh may be underestimated; the quadratic approximation in E_recon can be insufficient for large mismatch.
   • Device/location-specific slow drifts are partly absorbed by σ_env; non-Gaussian and device-specific corrections may be required.
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 (postselection overlap × alignment error): measure ∂Delta_path/∂J_Path and ∂R_recon/∂G_env.
     2. Algorithmic comparison (weak-value / tomography / Bohmian): at matched G_env, evaluate Δ_alg bias.
     3. Long time series: separate Ω and thermal drifts; test identifiability of phi_dot_drift.
