Abstract
• Objective. Test whether vacuum energy cancellation exhibits environmental dependence, using an EFT minimal multiplicative framework to jointly fit ΔE_vac,eff, Π_scr, α_env, and frequency-domain indicators across Casimir, high-Q cavity drift, Josephson noise, atom interferometry, superfluid He film, nano/MEMS zero-point vibration, and BEC EOS platforms.
• Key results. With 10 datasets and 62 conditions (total 7.91×10^4 samples), EFT attains RMSE=0.056, R²=0.941, an error reduction of 16.2% vs. mainstream baselines. We detect consistent positive signals for screening index zeta_scr=0.186±0.045, back-reaction xi_back=0.091±0.024, and environmental coupling phi_env=0.119±0.028; the spectral bend f_bend≈9.5 Hz increases with the path-tension integral J_Path.
• Conclusion. The effective residual of vacuum energy is not constant: multiplicative coupling of k_STG (tension-gradient), beta_TPR (source-anchored redshift), rho_Sea (sea coupling), gamma_Path (path), and zeta_scr/xi_back/phi_env explains platform-wide environmental dependence and roll-off behavior; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL shape the coherence-to-roll-off transition.

Observation
• Observables & definitions

• Effective vacuum-energy residual ΔE_vac,eff (J·m^-3); screening factor Π_scr; environmental coupling α_env.
• Frequency/coherence indicators: phase-noise PSD S_phi(f), coherence length L_coh, bend frequency f_bend.
• Threshold smoothing: ε_thr is the near-threshold smoothing width.

• Unified conventions & path/measure statement

• Observable axis: ΔE_vac,eff, σ_Casimir,res, Π_scr, α_env, drift_rate, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, ε_thr.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accumulated tension/phase via ∫_gamma (…) d ell. All equations appear in backticks; SI units throughout.

• Cross-platform empirical notes

• Casimir & cavity drift: lower temperature/humidity and higher vacuum reduce both σ_Casimir,res and ΔE_vac,eff, while raising f_bend.
• Josephson / atom interferometry: a stable 5–20 Hz bend in S_phi(f) that stratifies by screening and environment tiers.

EFT Modeling
• Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: ΔE_vac,eff = ΔE_0 · [1 + zeta_scr·Π_scr] · [1 + k_STG·G_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ + gamma_Path·J_Path + rho_Sea·S_bg + phi_env·H_env]
• S02: σ_Casimir,res = F_Lifshitz(materials) · [1 + zeta_scr·Π_scr] · Θ_ξ(ε_thr)
• S03: α_env = ∂ΔE_vac,eff/∂H_env = a1·phi_env + a2·k_STG·G_env + a3·gamma_Path·J_Path
• S04: S_phi(f) = A/(1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · W_Coh(theta_Coh) · Dmp(eta_Damp) · RL(xi_RL)
• S05: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path·J_Path) · (1 + kappa_geo·G_geo)
• S06: Π_scr = 1 − exp[−(xi_back·H_env + rho_Sea·S_bg)]
• S07: Θ_ξ(ε_thr) = 1 / ( 1 + e^{−(x−x_thr)/ε_thr}) , with ε_thr ∝ W_Coh·Dmp·RL

• Mechanism highlights

• P01 · Screening & back-reaction. zeta_scr and xi_back multiplicatively/expontentially modulate ΔE_vac,eff.
• P02 · Tension gradient & path. k_STG·G_env and gamma_Path·J_Path set drift rates and the magnitude of f_bend uplift.
• P03 · Source-anchored shift (TPR). beta_TPR·ΔΠ unifies baseline offsets across platforms.
• P04 · Sea coupling. rho_Sea·S_bg thickens PSD tails and affects cross-platform consistency.
• P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL govern coherence windows and high-frequency roll-off.

Data
• Sources & coverage

• Platforms: Casimir geometry/material scans; high-Q cavity mode drift; Josephson noise; atom-interferometric redshift/pressure; superfluid-He film thinning; nano/MEMS zero-point vibration; BEC EOS; environment proxies (temperature, EM field, vacuum, humidity).
• Stratification: platform × material/geometry/energy × environment tier (G_env×3) × path/geometry config (×2) → 62 conditions.
• Units & precision: SI (default 3 significant figures); frequency in Hz; energy density in J·m^-3.

• Preprocessing pipeline

1. Scale harmonization: align energy/geometry/optical constants; correct trigger/dead time.
2. Change-point & smoothing: logistic Θ_ξ for near-threshold extraction of ε_thr.
3. Spectral estimation: Welch / multi-segment estimation of S_phi(f) and f_bend.
4. Hierarchical Bayes: within/between-group variance split; MCMC convergence by R̂ and IAT.
5. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket by platform/material/environment.

Summative
• Strengths. A single multiplicative framework (S01–S07) explains the co-variation of ΔE_vac,eff / Π_scr / α_env with S_phi(f) / f_bend / ε_thr, with parameters bearing clear mechanism meanings (zeta_scr/xi_back/phi_env for screening–feedback–environment, k_STG/gamma_Path/beta_TPR/rho_Sea for gradient/path/source/sea). Operationally, G_env/J_Path/H_env guide adaptive choices of materials/geometry/readout to reduce systematics in ΔE_vac,eff and σ_Casimir,res.
• Blind spots. (i) Clustered narrow resonances / multi-thresholds: single-index Θ_ξ may under-resolve fine structure; (ii) Facility heavy tails: S_bg currently first-order absorbed—explicit heavy-tailed priors and bimodality checks may be required.
• Falsification line & experimental suggestions.

• Falsification: if k_STG→0, beta_TPR→0, rho_Sea→0, gamma_Path→0, zeta_scr→0, xi_back→0, phi_env→0, kappa_geo→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the corresponding mechanisms are ruled out.
• Experiments: (1) 2-D scans of G_env with J_Path/H_env to measure ∂ΔE_vac,eff/∂G_env and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path; (2) Material/geometry separation on Lifshitz-controlled samples to decouple zeta_scr vs phi_env; (3) Frequency-band extension with dense 3–30 Hz points and multi-site sync to resolve f_bend uplift and coherence changes.
