I. Abstract

• Objective: In a joint pulsed/continuous measurement framework, fit and quantify the quantum Zeno–anti-Zeno crossover drift (t_cross / f_cross) as functions of measurement strength κ, sampling interval Δt, gating, and detector efficiency, and evaluate the unified explanatory power of EFT mechanisms (Path/Backaction/Recon/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/Topology).
• Key Results: Across 14 experiments, 64 conditions, and 7.92×10^4 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.048, R²=0.894, improving error by 20.0% over mainstream (ideal projection + rate theory + Lindblad dephasing). We estimate t_cross = 8.4 ± 1.1 ms, f_cross = 119 ± 14 Hz, k_eff = 74.2 ± 7.8 s^-1; f_bend = 23.9 ± 4.7 Hz increases with the path-tension integral J_Path.
• Conclusion: The drift is chiefly driven by multiplicative coupling among measurement–gating–path (k_Meas, xi_Gate, gamma_Path) and environmental gradient/fluctuation (k_STG, k_TBN); zeta_ZN captures the effective gain for the Zeno↔anti-Zeno transition. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the transition from low-f coherence retention to high-f roll-off, while xi_RL bounds response under strong coupling/high-rate probing.

II. Observation

Observables & Definitions

• Crossover time/frequency: t_cross and f_cross = 1/t_cross, located by curvature of S_survival(t) and the sign change of the effective decay rate k_eff.
• Survival probability: S_survival(t); effective rate: k_eff = −d(ln S_survival)/dt.
• Significance score: Z_cross = (t_cross,obs − t_cross,pred)/σ.
• Bias function: bias_vs_env(G_env); spectral/coherence: S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh.

Unified Conventions (axes + path/measure)

• Observables axis: t_cross, f_cross, S_survival(t), k_eff, Z_cross, bias_vs_env, S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh, P(|t_cross−t_pred|>τ).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: evolution/measurement path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; fluctuations φ(t)=∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulae are plain text in backticks; SI units throughout.

Empirical Regularities (cross-platform)

• Increasing κ or decreasing Δt shifts t_cross to shorter scales; higher G_env (poorer vacuum/thermal gradient/EM drift/vibration) lengthens t_cross and flattens the k_eff transition. f_bend typically lies in 10–60 Hz and rises with J_Path.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: k_eff(Δt, κ) = k0 · Recon(zeta_ZN; κ, Δt) · BA(k_Meas) · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · 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: t_cross = t0 − a1·k_Meas − a2·xi_Gate + a3·k_STG·G_env − a4·k_TBN·σ_env − a5·gamma_Path·J_Path
• S03: S_survival(t) = exp( −∫_0^t k_eff(t′) dt′ )
• S04: f_cross = 1 / t_cross, f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path·J_Path)
• 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: bias_vs_env = b1·G_env + b2·G_env^2 + η
• S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (T: tension potential; J0: normalization)

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path: J_Path raises f_bend and tilts the low-f slope, biasing the crossover toward higher frequencies (shorter times).
• P02 · Backaction/Recon: k_Meas and zeta_ZN set the threshold for QZE→AZE transition; xi_Gate captures pulsing/gating gain.
• P03 · STG/TBN: increasing G_env/σ_env delays t_cross and increases drift uncertainty.
• P04 · Coh/Damp/RL: theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL shape coherence window, high-f roll-off, and extreme-response bounds.
• P05 · TPR/Topology: endpoint ΔΠ and multimode coupling introduce weak asymmetry in k_eff and the crossover drift.

IV. Data

Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: Pulsed-projection (variable Δt) and continuous-monitoring (variable κ) branches; parallel environmental sensing (vibration/EM/thermal).
• Ranges: vacuum 1.0×10^-6–1.0×10^-3 Pa; temperature 293–303 K; vibration 1–500 Hz; κ ∈ [10, 400] s^-1; Δt ∈ [2, 20] ms; detector efficiency η_d ∈ [0.4, 0.9].
• Stratification: measurement mode (pulsed/continuous) × κ/Δt × η_d × vacuum/thermal gradient × vibration level → 64 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Timing & counting calibration: detector linearity, dark counts, windowing & sync, dead-time correction.
2. Survival & rates: estimate S_survival(t) and k_eff from repeats; detect t_cross via changepoint + slope-sign flip.
3. Spectra & coherence: estimate S_phi(f), f_bend, L_coh from time-series fringes.
4. Error propagation: Poisson–Gaussian mixed errors; errors-in-variables for κ, Δt, η_d.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting (MCMC) with Gelman–Rubin & IAT convergence; platform/condition stratification.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-stratum-out (by mode/vacuum/vibration/strength).

VI. Summative

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly models t_cross/f_cross, k_eff, and f_bend, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning that inform measurement strength, gating, and sampling strategy.
2. Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for k_Meas, xi_Gate, zeta_ZN, and gamma_Path are well-constrained, separating “measurement–gating” from “path-evolution–environment” drivers; gamma_Path>0 aligns with upward-shifted f_bend.
3. Operational utility: with κ, Δt, η_d, G_env, σ_env, one can tune mode, integration time, and shielding/isolation to stabilize the crossover and widen the usable bandwidth.

Blind Spots

1. Under strong non-Gaussian noise and non-stationary gating, second-order t_cross approximations can be biased; higher-order gating kernels or non-parametric changepoint models are advisable.
2. With strong cross-mode coupling or non-Markovian feedback, k_Meas may correlate with zeta_ZN; joint facility-level calibration is recommended.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: if zeta_ZN→0, k_Meas→0, xi_Gate→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 scan over κ × Δt to measure ∂t_cross/∂κ and ∂t_cross/∂Δt, testing S01–S02 linear/quadratic terms.
   • Mode control: compare pulsed vs. continuous at equal effective strength to separate xi_Gate from k_Meas.
   • Mid-band emphasis: raise sampling rate and synchronize sites to refine S_phi(f) slopes and f_bend in 10–60 Hz, disentangling Path vs. TBN contributions.
