I. Abstract

• Objective: Within the weak-measurement framework, perform a unified fit of weak-value trajectory cluster aggregation and bifurcation, estimating the cluster count N_cluster, bifurcation phase threshold phi_bif, inter-centroid distance Δx_centroid, aggregation scale λ_agg, and cluster lifetime τ_cluster, and evaluating the joint explanatory power of EFT mechanisms (Path/Recon/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/Topology).
• Key Results: Across 16 experiments, 72 conditions, and 8.6×10^4 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.052, R²=0.885, improving error by 18.6% over the mainstream baseline (AAV single-stage + independent trajectory mixture + dephasing + EM clustering). Estimates: phi_bif = 0.24 ± 0.05 rad, Δx_centroid = (1.2 ± 0.3)×10^-5 m, λ_agg = 0.67 ± 0.12, τ_cluster = 0.28 ± 0.06 s, f_bend = 23.5 ± 4.5 Hz.
• Conclusion: Bifurcation is triggered by the multiplicative coupling among zeta_Recon, alpha_Agg, k_Top, E_post(β_TPR), J_Path, and G_env. theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the transition from low-frequency coherence retention to high-frequency roll-off, while xi_RL bounds response under strong coupling/vibration.

II. Observation

Observables & Definitions

• Cluster count N_cluster: number of weak-value trajectory clusters in image/phase space (unified soft-clustering threshold).
• Bifurcation threshold phi_bif: phase at which N_cluster transitions from 2 to 3 (or higher), in rad.
• Inter-centroid distance Δx_centroid (m): distance between main cluster centroids.
• Aggregation scale λ_agg (dimensionless): larger values indicate stronger aggregation/tighter intra-cluster contraction.
• Cluster lifetime τ_cluster (s): temporal span over which a cluster persists.
• Spectral & coherence metrics: S_phi(f) (phase-noise PSD), L_coh (coherence length), f_bend (spectral breakpoint).

Unified Conventions (axes + path/measure)

• Observables axis: N_cluster, phi_bif, Δx_centroid, λ_agg, τ_cluster, S_phi(f), f_bend, P(|obs−pred|>τ).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: propagation path gamma(ell), measure d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t)=∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulae appear as plain text in backticks; units follow SI (default 3 significant digits).

Empirical Regularities (cross-platform)

• Increasing post-selection angle/phase induces a 2-to-3 cluster bifurcation, with Δx_centroid positively correlated with λ_agg. A breakpoint f_bend typically appears at 10–60 Hz and shifts upward with J_Path. Under poorer vacuum/stronger thermal gradients/EM drift/vibration, bifurcation advances (lower phi_bif) and clusters shorten in lifetime.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: phi_bif = φ0 + b1·gamma_Path·J_Path + b2·k_STG·G_env + b3·k_TBN·σ_env − b4·zeta_Recon·E_post(β_TPR)
• S02: p_split(φ) = sigmoid[s·(φ − phi_bif)], N_cluster_pred = 2 + p_split(φ)
• S03: Δx_centroid = Δx0 + α1·alpha_Agg·J_Path + α2·k_STG·G_env + α3·k_TBN·σ_env + α4·k_Top·C_topo
• S04: λ_agg = λ0 · (1 + c1·alpha_Agg·J_Path) · (1 + c2·E_post) · (1 + c3·k_TBN·σ_env)
• S05: τ_cluster = τ0 / [1 + d1·k_STG·G_env + d2·k_TBN·σ_env]
• S06: σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell) · d ell, S_φ(f) = A/(1+(f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
• S07: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
• S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (T: tension potential; J0: normalization)
• S09: G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·∇T_thermal + b4·a_vib (dimensionless, normalized)
• S10: C_topo = ξ1·κ_mode + ξ2·χ_cross (topological indicator from intra-mode curvature and cross-mode coupling)

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path: J_Path elevates f_bend and modifies the low-f slope, shifting aggregation and bifurcation thresholds.
• P02 · Recon: zeta_Recon strengthens effective post-selection gain E_post, delaying bifurcation and enhancing aggregation.
• P03 · STG: G_env aggregates vacuum/thermal/EM/vibration gradients, advancing bifurcation and shortening lifetime.
• P04 · TPR: endpoint tension–pressure contrast modulates aggregation and thresholds via E_post.
• P05 · TBN: background fluctuations thicken tails and amplify mid-band power law, enlarging Δx_centroid and error rates.
• P06 · Coh/Damp/RL: theta_Coh, eta_Damp tune coherence window and high-f roll-off; xi_RL bounds extreme-condition response.
• P07 · Topology: k_Top with C_topo shapes cluster morphology and bifurcation type (saddle-node/pitchfork).

IV. Data

Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: Type-II SPDC weak-measurement setup (birefringent crystal + polarization/phase post-selection), tunable weak-coupling strength g_w, delay & correlation phase scans; environmental sensing (vibration/EM/thermal).
• Ranges: vacuum 1.0×10^-6–1.0×10^-3 Pa, temperature 293–303 K, vibration 1–500 Hz, g_w ∈ [0, 0.3].
• Stratification: device (crystal/geometry) × post-selection angles (θ,φ) × coupling g_w × vacuum/thermal gradient × vibration level → 72 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Counting/localization calibration: detector linearity & dark counts; coincidence windowing & sync; dead-time correction.
2. Trajectory reconstruction: recover trajectory clouds from weak-value deflection and image-plane time series; remove fixed patterns and baseline.
3. Clustering & metrics: soft clustering (GMM/EM) to estimate N_cluster, Δx_centroid, λ_agg, τ_cluster; unify thresholds and confidence.
4. Spectral/coherence estimation: derive S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh from fringe time series.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting (MCMC): Gelman–Rubin & IAT convergence; errors-in-variables for g_w and phase uncertainties.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-stratum-out (by device/vacuum/vibration/coupling).

VI. Summative

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S10) explains the coupled behavior of N_cluster, phi_bif, Δx_centroid, λ_agg, τ_cluster, and f_bend, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning.
2. Recon + Agg + Topology synergy: zeta_Recon and alpha_Agg delay bifurcation and reinforce aggregation; k_Top·C_topo captures bifurcation type and cluster-shape evolution; gamma_Path>0 aligns with the upward shift of f_bend.
3. Operational utility: use G_env, σ_env, E_post, and J_Path to adapt post-selection windows, coupling g_w, integration time, and isolation/shielding to stabilize cluster lifetime and control bifurcation.

Blind Spots

1. Under strongly non-Gaussian spectra and strong cross-mode coupling, the linearized C_topo may be insufficient; higher-order topological terms are advisable.
2. Soft-clustering thresholds exert second-order effects on N_cluster; cross-calibration at the facility level is recommended.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: if zeta_Recon→0, alpha_Agg→0, k_Top→0, 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.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D scans over post-selection phase and coupling (φ, g_w) to measure ∂N_cluster/∂φ and ∂phi_bif/∂g_w.
   • Topological intervention by controlled cross-mode coupling to quantify k_Top·C_topo effects on bifurcation type (saddle-node/pitchfork).
   • Mid-band enhancement: higher count rates and multi-site sync to resolve S_phi(f) mid-band slopes and f_bend, separating Path vs. TBN contributions.
