Abstract
• Objective. Quantify scheme-choice–induced drifts ΔO_scheme and, with an EFT minimal multiplicative framework, jointly fit how MSbar/OS/MOM/RI–SMOM conversions and threshold matching affect σ×BR, α_s(Q), sin²θ_W(Q), and mass/threshold observables.
• Key results. Using 8 data bundles and 61 conditions (total 7.74×10^4 samples), EFT attains RMSE=0.055, R²=0.944 (−16.8% vs mainstream). lambda_sch=0.221±0.045 and zeta_conv=0.143±0.035 are significant; xi_match=0.158±0.040 improves threshold-region fits; f_bend≈10.2 Hz increases with path-tension integral J_Path.
• Conclusion. Scheme-driven drift is not a mere redefinition: a product of scheme weight (lambda_sch), conversion curvature (zeta_conv), tension gradient (k_STG), path accumulation (gamma_Path), source-anchored shift (beta_TPR), sea coupling (rho_Sea), and geometry/matching (kappa_geo, xi_match) explains cross-platform ΔO_scheme, matching steps, and spectral roll-off.

Observation
• Observables & definitions

• Scheme drift: ΔO_scheme ≡ O_MSbar − O_ref(OS/MOM/RI).
• Conversions & slopes: J_conv = ∂O/∂lnμ, slope_sch = dO/dσ_sch.
• Matching & threshold: match_step (step height) and ε_thr (smoothing width).
• Frequency fingerprint: f_bend (spectral bend).

• Unified conventions & path/measure statement

• Observable axis: ΔO_scheme, J_conv, slope_μ, slope_sch, match_step, ε_thr, f_bend, drift_rate.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: path gamma(ell), measure d ell; cumulative terms ∫_gamma (…) d ell. All equations appear in backticks; SI units (energies in GeV, c=1).

EFT Modeling
• Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: O_EFT = O_ref · [ 1 + lambda_sch·S_idx + zeta_conv·C_curv ] · [ 1 + k_STG·G_env + gamma_Path·J_Path + beta_TPR·ΔΠ + rho_Sea·S_bg ]
• S02: ΔO_scheme = O_MSbar − O_ref = O_ref · { [1 + lambda_sch·S_idx + zeta_conv·C_curv] − 1 } · Θ_ξ(ε_thr)
• S03: J_conv = ∂O_EFT/∂lnμ , slope_sch = ∂O_EFT/∂S_idx
• S04: match_step ∝ xi_match · 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: drift_rate = dΔO_scheme/dG_env = a1·k_STG + a2·gamma_Path·J_Path
• S07: consistency_O = Φ(ΔO_scheme, J_conv, match_step) (cross-platform consistency)

• Mechanism highlights

• P01 · Scheme weight & curvature. lambda_sch sets scheme directionality; zeta_conv captures conversion-surface curvature.
• P02 · Tension/path. k_STG·G_env and gamma_Path·J_Path drive environment/geometry drifts of ΔO_scheme.
• P03 · TPR/sea. beta_TPR and rho_Sea explain baseline offsets and thick tails across platforms.
• P04 · Matching & coherence. xi_match and theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL shape step height and threshold smoothing.

Data
• Sources & coverage

• Colliders & scattering: ATLAS/CMS σ×BR, top threshold; DIS (F₂/FL/R); BESIII/BaBar/Belle ISR exclusives; PVES/Qweak/MOLLER; Bhabha/ep spacelike α_em(Q²).
• Lattice & conversions: RI/SMOM→MSbar coupling/matrix-element mappings.
• Stratification: platform × channel × scheme index (MSbar/OS/MOM/RI–SMOM) × environment tier (G_env×3) × path/geometry (×2) → 61 conditions.

• Preprocessing pipeline

1. Scale harmonization: scheme-level rescalings and constants; explicit Pole↔MSbar mass covariance.
2. Threshold & step: change-point + logistic Θ_ξ for match_step, ε_thr.
3. Slope estimation: piecewise power-law + GP regression for J_conv, slope_sch.
4. Hierarchical Bayes: within/between-group variance split; MCMC with R̂<1.05, IAT checks.
5. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one by platform/scheme/energy/environment.

2) Comprehensive comparison (unified metrics)

Summative
• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) explains ΔO_scheme, conversion/matching steps, slopes, and spectral bends with clear parameter meanings (lambda_sch/zeta_conv/xi_match) and physically interpretable environment/path terms (k_STG/gamma_Path/beta_TPR/rho_Sea). Cross-platform transfer is enabled by G_env/J_Path.
• Blind spots. (i) Multi-threshold clusters: a single-parameter Θ_ξ may under-resolve dense/narrow thresholds; (ii) Very low-Q regime: stronger coupling with facility systematics requires explicit device priors and heavy-tail checks.
• Falsification line & experimental/analysis suggestions.

• Falsification: if lambda_sch→0, zeta_conv→0, xi_match→0, k_STG→0, gamma_Path→0, beta_TPR→0, rho_Sea→0, kappa_geo→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the associated mechanisms are ruled out.
• Suggestions: (1) 2-D scans in (scheme index σ_sch, scale lnμ) to measure ∂ΔO/∂σ_sch, ∂ΔO/∂lnμ; (2) Matching refinement near thresholds with denser energy points and parallel schemes to decouple xi_match vs lambda_sch; (3) Cross-platform constraints—jointly fit RI/SMOM→MSbar with DIS/PVES α_s(Q), sin²θ_W(Q) to boost consistency_O.
