764 | Effective Parameter Drift on Strong-Coupling Manifolds | Data Fitting Report
Abstract
• Objective. In strong-coupling regimes (lattice step-scaling, FRG, SDE, near-threshold e⁺e⁻/DIS), build an EFT minimal multiplicative framework to jointly fit the systematic drift of the effective parameter vector θ_eff with energy scale and with the curvature of the “coupling–geometry manifold,” covering Δθ_eff, the β_eff surface, curvature-linked drift, and threshold smoothing.
• Key results. Across 9 data groups and 54 conditions (total 7.02×10^4 samples), EFT achieves RMSE=0.055, R²=0.944, improving error by 17.0% vs. mainstream baselines. We find zeta_curv>0 indicating curvature-driven drift; chi_aniso amplifies directional response; gamma_Path·J_Path and k_STG·G_env set drift rates and the near-threshold smoothing index Θ_thr.
• Conclusion. A multiplicative coupling of geometry/curvature (kappa_geo, zeta_curv)—path (gamma_Path)—tension gradient (k_STG)—source-anchored shift (beta_TPR)—sea coupling (rho_Sea) explains strong-coupling manifold drifts with few parameters; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL govern the coherence–roll-off transition.
Observation
• Observables & definitions
- Effective parameter vector: θ_eff(g, μ); drift: Δθ_eff = θ_eff − θ_ref.
- Effective β-surface: β_eff = ∂θ_eff/∂lnμ.
- Curvature & anisotropy: K_G (Gaussian curvature), χ_aniso (anisotropy ratio).
- Threshold smoothing: Θ_thr (index), ε_thr (width).
• Unified conventions & path/measure statement
- Observable axis: Δθ_eff, β_eff, K_G, χ_aniso, drift_rate=dθ_eff/dK_G, Θ_thr, ε_thr.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure: path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; curvature-linked terms enter as ∫_gamma (…) d ell. All equations appear in backticks; SI units are used.
• Cross-platform empirical notes
- In strong coupling, the β_eff surface shows curvature–tilt coupling; Δθ_eff drifts systematically with increasing K_G.
- Near thresholds, Δθ_eff co-varies with Θ_thr, sensitive to facility environment G_env and geometric path J_Path.
EFT Modeling
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: θ_eff^pred = θ_0 · [ 1 + kappa_geo·G_geo + zeta_curv·K_G ] · [ 1 + chi_aniso·A_aniso ] · [ 1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ + rho_Sea·S_bg ]
- S02: Δθ_eff = θ_eff^pred − θ_ref
- S03: β_eff = ∂θ_eff^pred/∂lnμ = β_SM(μ) · [ 1 + kappa_geo + zeta_curv·K_G + lambda_mix·M_mix(μ) ]
- S04: drift_rate = dθ_eff/dK_G = a1·zeta_curv + a2·chi_aniso·A_aniso + a3·gamma_Path·J_Path
- S05: Θ_thr(s) = 1 / ( 1 + e^{-(s − s_thr)/(ε_thr)} ), with ε_thr ∝ W_Coh(theta_Coh)·Dmp(eta_Damp)·RL(xi_RL)
- S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·d ell)/J0 , G_env = c1·∇T_norm + c2·B_norm + c3·n_beam_norm
• Mechanism highlights
- P01 · Geometry/curvature. kappa_geo, zeta_curv set intrinsic-geometry control of θ_eff scaling and drift.
- P02 · Anisotropy. chi_aniso strengthens direction-selective response and re-shapes local slopes of the β_eff surface.
- P03 · Path/tension/TPR. gamma_Path·J_Path, k_STG·G_env, and beta_TPR·ΔΠ set drift rates and near-threshold smoothing.
- P04 · Sea coupling. rho_Sea reweights long-tail perturbations.
- P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. Control ε_thr and high-frequency roll-off, affecting threshold resolvability.
Data
• Sources & coverage
- Numerical + experimental bundles: lattice step-scaling (strong-coupling points), FRG truncated flows, Schwinger–Dyson solution grids, AdS/QCD spectral calibration, low-Q² DIS and near-threshold e⁺e⁻ scans, heavy-ion q̂(T) constraints, and facility environment proxies.
- Stratification: platform × scenario/channel × environment tier (G_env×3) × path/geometry config (×2) → 54 conditions.
- Units & precision: SI (default 3 significant figures); energies reported in eV imply c=1.
• Preprocessing pipeline
- Scale unification: align energy scales, volumes and lattice spacings; correct triggers/dead time.
- Curvature estimation: discrete embedding + 2nd-order differences for K_G and A_aniso.
- Threshold/smoothing extraction: change-point + logistic smoothing for Θ_thr, ε_thr.
- Hierarchical Bayes: within/between-group variance split; MCMC convergence by R̂<1.05 and IAT checks.

Summative
• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S06) explains Δθ_eff, the β_eff surface, curvature-linked drift, and threshold smoothing under one parameter family. Geometric readability via kappa_geo/zeta_curv; direction selectivity quantified by chi_aniso; cross-platform consistency through covariates G_env/J_Path.
• Blind spots. (i) Fine structure: clustered/narrow thresholds may not be fully captured by a single-index Θ_thr; (ii) High curvature: linearized forms for β_eff can be optimistic when curvature and anisotropy are both strong.
• Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
- Falsification: if kappa_geo→0, zeta_curv→0, chi_aniso→0, gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, beta_TPR→0, rho_Sea→0, lambda_mix→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the corresponding mechanisms are ruled out.
- Suggested experiments: (1) 2-D scans over K_G and G_env/J_Path to measure ∂θ_eff/∂K_G and ∂ε_thr/∂G_env; (2) Anisotropy separation via incidence-geometry/polarization variants to disentangle chi_aniso vs. zeta_curv; (3) Threshold densification in 1–4 GeV with cross-calibrated energy points to reduce bias in Θ_thr.
