I. Abstract

• Objective: In the weak-measurement/post-selection setting, assess how Bayesian post-selection biases the violation score Z_violate (σ-score of rare/constrained event rates); quantify the impact of prior strength π, gating window and delay, and environmental factors on Z_violate, bias_vs_prior(π), OR_post/OR_prior, and spectral metrics S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend.
• Key Results: Across 14 experiments, 62 conditions, and 7.84×10^4 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.048, R²=0.892, a 19.7% error reduction versus mainstream (no post-selection / heuristic reweighting / dephasing / GLMM baseline). f_bend = 23.2 ± 4.7 Hz increases with the path-tension integral J_Path; k_Prior, rho_OR, and zeta_Recon are well-identified.
• Conclusion: Violation bias arises from multiplicative coupling among J_Path, G_env, σ_env, endpoint tension–pressure contrast ΔΠ, and Bayesian reweighting/post-selection gain parameters (k_Prior, rho_OR, zeta_Recon). theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the transition from low-frequency coherence retention to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds response under strong coupling/vibration.

II. Observation

Observables & Definitions

• Violation score: Z_violate = (p_obs − p_base)/σ (dimensionless).
• Prior strength: π = logit(p_prior) (dimensionless).
• Odds ratio uplift: OR_post/OR_prior after post-selection.
• Gating/Delay bias functions: bias_vs_prior(π) and ΔAIC_vs_noselect.
• Spectral/coherence: S_phi(f) (phase-noise PSD), L_coh (coherence length), f_bend (spectral breakpoint).

Unified Conventions (axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observables axis: Z_violate, bias_vs_prior(π), OR_post/OR_prior, ΔAIC_vs_noselect, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, P(|Z_violate−Z_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 are plain text in backticks; units follow SI (default 3 significant digits).

Empirical Regularities (cross-platform)

• Larger prior strength or narrower gating windows systematically raise Z_violate and OR_post/OR_prior. Under poorer vacuum / stronger thermal gradients / EM drift / vibration, f_bend rises, L_coh shortens, and violation tails thicken.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: p_event_pred = p0 · Recon(ε; zeta_Recon) · E_post(β_TPR; ε) · W_Bayes(π; k_Prior, rho_OR) · exp(−σ_φ^2/2) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: Z_violate_pred = (p_event_pred − p_base)/σ
• S03: W_Bayes(π; k_Prior, rho_OR) = exp(k_Prior·π) · (1 + rho_OR·π)
• S04: bias_vs_prior(π) = Z_obs − Z_pred = c1·π + c2·π^2 + η
• 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: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (T: tension potential; J0: normalization)
• S08: G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·∇T_thermal + b4·a_vib (dimensionless, normalized)

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path: J_Path elevates f_bend and reshapes low-f slope, stabilizing Z_violate.
• P02 · Recon: zeta_Recon boosts effective post-selection gain with β_TPR, shifting the baseline.
• P03 · STG: G_env aggregates vacuum/thermal/EM/vibration gradients, increasing bias and tail thickness.
• P04 · TPR: endpoint tension–pressure contrast ΔΠ modulates the violation “background” via E_post.
• P05 · TBN: background fluctuations amplify mid-band power law, increasing bias_vs_prior and ΔAIC_vs_noselect.
• P06 · Coh/Damp/RL: theta_Coh, eta_Damp set coherence window and high-f roll-off; xi_RL bounds extreme response.
• P07 · Topology: multi-mode/path coupling alters kernel shape and the identifiability of OR_post/OR_prior.

IV. Data

Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: Type-II SPDC weak-measurement with post-selection (gating window / delay line / eraser); concurrent environmental sensing (vibration/EM/thermal).
• Ranges: vacuum 1.0×10^-6–1.0×10^-3 Pa; temperature 293–303 K; vibration 1–500 Hz; prior strength π ∈ [−2.5, 2.5]; gating width 5–200 ns.
• Stratification: apparatus (geometry/post-selection scheme) × prior strength × gating/delay × vacuum/thermal gradient × vibration level → 62 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Counting & timing calibration: detector linearity, dark counts, windowing & sync, dead-time correction.
2. Prior construction & stratified sampling: estimate p_prior from a reserved training segment; form π = logit(p_prior); stratify to preserve apparatus/prior/environment coverage.
3. Event rate & violation: estimate p_event and Z_violate; compute OR_post/OR_prior and ΔAIC_vs_noselect.
4. Spectral/coherence estimation: derive S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh from time-series fringes.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting (MCMC) with Gelman–Rubin & IAT convergence; errors-in-variables for π and gating/delay uncertainties.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-stratum-out (by apparatus/prior/environment).

VI. Summative

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) explains the coupling among Z_violate, bias_vs_prior, OR_post/OR_prior, and f_bend; k_Prior, rho_OR, and zeta_Recon provide actionable, engineering-level controls.
2. Transferability & identifiability: stable transfer across apparatus/environment strata with well-constrained posteriors for key parameters.
3. Operational utility: given π, gate width, G_env, and σ_env, adapt windows, integration time, and shielding/compensation to suppress violation bias.

Blind Spots

1. With strongly non-Gaussian tails or strong cross-mode coupling, the first-order W_Bayes approximation may be insufficient; higher-order or non-parametric kernels are recommended.
2. Clustering thresholds and prior-estimation windows exert second-order effects on Z_violate; facility-level cross-calibration is advised.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: if zeta_Recon→0, k_Prior→0, rho_OR→0, gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, xi_RL→0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the associated mechanisms are falsified.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D scans over π × gate width to measure ∂Z_violate/∂π and ∂OR/∂window.
   • Controls with no-post and randomized post-selection to disentangle W_Bayes vs. E_post.
   • Mid-band analysis: higher count rates and multi-site sync to resolve S_phi(f) mid-band slopes and f_bend, separating Path vs. TBN contributions.
