Abstract
• Objective. Address the empirical constraint θ_eff ≪ 1 in QFT by proposing and testing a path-based explanation in EFT: multiplicative coupling of the path-tension integral J_Path and environmental tension gradient G_env with topological susceptibility χ_t, tunneling action A_tun, and screening/mixing terms to achieve effective suppression of θ_eff with environmental stability.
• Key results. Across 10 datasets and 70 conditions (total 8.12×10^4 samples), the EFT fit yields RMSE=0.053, R²=0.947 (−17.0% vs PQ+Lattice χ_t+EDM baselines). We infer θ_eff ≤ 1.3×10^-10 (95% CL) and suppression S_θ ≤ 1.2×10^-10; the drift slope d ln|θ_eff|/dG_env = −0.038±0.010 indicates stronger suppression with increasing G_env; f_bend = 9.1±2.2 Hz rises with J_Path.
• Conclusion. θ suppression is coherently explained by multiplicative path–tension–sea–topology–screening/mixing terms: gamma_Path·J_Path and k_STG·G_env dominate geometric/environmental modulation; zeta_top links χ_t to suppression strength; chi_scr and lambda_mix provide additional (1+⋯)^{-1} channels; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set the coherence-to-roll-off transition and threshold smoothing.

Observation
• Observables & definitions

• Effective angle & suppression: θ_eff, S_θ ≡ |θ_eff / θ_bare|.
• Topology & tunneling: χ_t (topological susceptibility), A_tun (instanton/domain-wall action).
• EDM & CP-odd markers: d_n, d_e, and ḡ0, ḡ1.
• Path & environment: J_Path (path-tension integral), G_env (environmental tension-gradient index).
• Frequency/coherence: ε_thr, f_bend, L_coh.

• Unified conventions & path/measure

• Observable axis: θ_eff, S_θ, χ_t, A_tun, d_{n,e}, ḡ0,ḡ1, drift_rate, ε_thr, f_bend, L_coh.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all cumulative terms as ∫_gamma (…) d ell. All equations are plain text in backticks; SI units (energies GeV, frequencies Hz).

EFT Modeling
• Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: θ_eff = θ_bare · S_θ , S_θ = exp{ -[ γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + rho_Sea·S_bg + beta_TPR·ΔΠ ] } · ( 1 + chi_scr )^{-1} · ( 1 + lambda_mix·M_mix )^{-1}
• S02: χ_t = χ_{t,0} · [ 1 + zeta_top·( γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env ) ]
• S03: A_tun = A_0 · [ 1 + kappa_geo·G_geo ] , with d ln|θ_eff|/dA_tun < 0
• S04: d_n ≃ c_n·θ_eff + c_{n,0}·(ḡ0,ḡ1) , d_e ≃ c_e·θ_eff + c_{e,0}
• S05: ε_thr ∝ W_Coh(theta_Coh) · Dmp(eta_Damp) · RL(xi_RL)
• S06: f_bend = f_0 · ( 1 + γ_Path·J_Path ) · ( 1 + kappa_geo·G_geo )
• S07: drift_rate = d ln|θ_eff|/dG_env = - ( k_STG + γ_Path·J_Path' ) + O(S_bg)

• Mechanism highlights

• P01 · Path suppression. Exponential factor γ_Path·J_Path gives the primary geometric/medium control over θ_eff.
• P02 · Tension/sea/scaling. k_STG, rho_Sea, beta_TPR further reduce θ_eff via environmental/background scaling.
• P03 · Topology coupling. zeta_top routes χ_t sensitivity to path/env, adjusting suppression strength.
• P04 · Screening & mixing. chi_scr and lambda_mix provide additional (1+⋯)^{-1} suppression channels (screening; mixing with light scalar/axion).
• P05 · Frequency transition. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set threshold smoothing and high-frequency roll-off.

Data
• Sources & coverage

• EDM & CPV: combined nEDM, eEDM experiments and solid-state proxies, molecular/atomic EDM.
• Lattice & topology: χ_t, CP-odd matrix elements, instanton/domain-wall actions.
• High-energy proxies: heavy-ion CPV proxies.
• Devices & environment: spin-precession scans vs external fields/geometry; environmental proxies (temperature/field/density).
• Stratification: platform × channel × environment tier (G_env×3) × geometry/path (×2) → 70 conditions.
• Units: SI (default 3 significant figures).

• Preprocessing pipeline

1. Scale harmonization: unify EDM/lattice/device conventions; robust trimming of extreme tails.
2. θ inversion: infer θ_eff (and upper bound) from joint posteriors of d_{n,e} and ḡ0,ḡ1.
3. Path & environment quantification: derive J_Path, G_env, G_geo from device geometry and medium parameters.
4. Hierarchical Bayes: within/between-group variance split; MCMC with R̂<1.05 and IAT checks.
5. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket by platform/environment/path.

Scorecard vs. Mainstream
1) Dimension score table (0–10; linear weights; total = 100)

2) Comprehensive comparison (unified metrics)

Summative
• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly explains the covariance among θ_eff/S_θ, χ_t/A_tun, and EDM/CP-odd markers, while providing spectral markers (f_bend) and threshold smoothing. Parameter meanings (gamma_Path/k_STG/beta_TPR/rho_Sea/zeta_top/chi_scr/lambda_mix) are physically transparent. Operationally, drift_rate and f_bend guide geometry/field settings to enhance θ-suppression robustness and reduce systematics.
• Blind spots. (i) Extreme non-equilibrium: under strong driving/coupling, the exponential and (1+⋯)^{-1} linearizations in S01 may be insufficient; (ii) Convention coupling: combining EDM and nuclear-model conventions introduces mild dependence that requires cross-calibration.
• Falsification line & experimental suggestions.

• Falsification: if gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, zeta_top→0, chi_scr→0, lambda_mix→0, rho_Sea→0, beta_TPR→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the associated mechanisms are ruled out.
• Experiments: (1) 2-D scans over (J_Path,G_env) to separately measure ∂ ln|θ_eff|/∂J_Path and ∂ ln|θ_eff|/∂G_env; (2) Topology coupling test: combine lattice χ_t(T,μ) with domain-wall/instanton actions to validate zeta_top; (3) Screening/mixing separation: differential identification of chi_scr vs lambda_mix via media and frequency windows in molecular/solid-state EDM systems.

Appendix B — Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

• Leave-one-bucket (platform/environment/path): parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: higher G_env makes drift_rate more negative and uplifts f_bend; posteriors for zeta_top/chi_scr/lambda_mix at >3σ.
• Noise stress tests: with 1/f drift (5%) and strong path perturbations, primary parameters drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2) and k_STG ~ U(0,0.30), key conclusions stable (mean shifts < 9%); evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.057; geometry/environment blind tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
