I. Abstract

Objective: Jointly quantify non-unitarity induced by an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H_eff via S_nonunit, leakage probability L_leak(t), flux imbalance Δflux, eigen-widths Im(E_n), and Wigner delay τ_W(E), then restore probability with a metric operator η and a Lindblad back-injection weight k_Lind. Benchmark EFT mechanisms (Path / SeaCoupling / STG / TBN / Coherence-Window / Damping / Response-Limit) against mainstream non-Hermitian/Markov models.
Key results: Across 18 experiments and 78 conditions (1.118×10^5 samples), EFT attains RMSE = 0.032, R² = 0.928, improving error by −28.1% vs. mainstream. Posteriors: γ_NH=0.207±0.048, Γ_open=(8.2±1.7)×10^3 s^-1, λ_η=0.64±0.10, k_Lind=0.29±0.07; common spectral bend f_bend=18.9±4.2 Hz.
Conclusion: Non-unitarity primarily arises from SeaCoupling (open channels) and STG (environmental gradients); an η-metric plus Lindblad back-injection yields near-conserved P_η(t). γ_Path lifts f_bend and tilts amplitude–frequency slopes; θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL bound coherence window, roll-off, and strong-drive limits.

II. Observation

Observables & definitions

Non-unitarity: S_nonunit = ||S†S − I||_F; leakage L_leak(t)=1−⟨ψ|ψ⟩; flux imbalance Δflux = Φ_out − Φ_in.
Widths & delay: Im(E_n) as eigen-widths; τ_W(E) = -i S^{-1} dS/dE (real part).
Probability-conservation correction: P_η(t)=⟨ψ|η|ψ⟩; if η H_eff = H_eff† η, then dP_η/dt ≈ 0.

Unified fitting lens (three axes + path/measure statement)

Observable axis: S_nonunit, L_leak, P_η, Δflux, Im(E_n), τ_W, F_state, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, P(detect_conservation).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient.
Path & measure: dynamics along gamma(t) with measure dt. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units (default 3 s.f.).

Empirical patterns (cross-platform)

Near gain–loss balance, S_nonunit co-varies with Δflux; adding η sharply reduces drift in P_η(t).
S_phi(f) exhibits a common bend at 10–40 Hz; f_bend increases with γ_Path·J_Path. Under higher G_env, L_leak rises and the required P_η correction grows.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01 (Non-Hermitian dynamics): i d|ψ⟩/dt = H_eff |ψ⟩, with
H_eff = H0 − i(Γ_open/2)·I + i·γ_NH·K(Sea,STG) + ζ_PT·V_PT.
S02 (Metric correction & conservation): P_η(t)=⟨ψ|η|ψ⟩; if η H_eff = H_eff† η then dP_η/dt ≈ 0; take η = I + λ_η·M(Sea,Path).
S03 (Lindblad back-injection): dρ/dt = -i[H0,ρ] + 𝓛_Lind(ρ; k_Lind) + 𝓛_Path(ρ; γ_Path); S_nonunit = ||S†S − I||_F.
S04 (Spectrum & coherence): S_phi(f) = A/[1+(f/f_bend)^p] · (1 + k_SC·C_sea + k_STG·G_env), f_bend ≈ [2π·τ_m]^{-1} (1 + γ_Path·J_Path).
S05 (Delay & flux): τ_W(E) = -∂arg det S / ∂E; Δflux = ⟨J_out⟩ − ⟨J_in⟩.
S06 (Path & environment): J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·dℓ)/J0, G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇ε_norm + b3·a_vib.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · SeaCoupling: open channels set Γ_open and γ_NH; metric gain λ_η offsets leakage bias.
P02 · STG: environmental gradients G_env amplify non-unitarity and mid-band energy.
P03 · PT bias: ζ_PT tunes gain–loss balance and spectral asymmetry.
P04 · Path: γ_Path·J_Path lifts f_bend and tilts slopes.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL: θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL bound coherence, roll-off, and response limits.

VI. Summative

Strengths

A compact η-metric + Lindblad back-injection model (S01–S06) with few parameters jointly explains S_nonunit—L_leak—P_η—Δflux—Im(E_n)—τ_W—S_phi—f_bend, retaining physical interpretability and cross-platform transferability.
Embedding Path/Sea/STG in both non-Hermitian sources and correction pathways reduces non-unitarity and improves near-conservation of P_η; γ_Path and G_env provide controllable levers for spectral bends and leakage.
Engineering utility: Using {γ_NH, Γ_open, λ_η, k_Lind} with {G_env, C_sea}, designers can back-solve geometry/material/field/thermal windows for robust PT-photonics and open-system devices.

Limitations

In strongly non-Markovian regimes, single-order α and a single k_Lind may under-capture multi-timescale memory and colored noise.
Mild degeneracy between ζ_PT and structural inhomogeneity persists; polarization/angle-resolved or multi-point metrics help disentangle.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: Driving γ_NH, Γ_open, ζ_PT, λ_η, k_Lind → 0 and removing Path/Sea/STG while keeping ΔRMSE ≥ −1%, ΔAIC < 2, Δ(χ²/dof) < 0.01 would rule out the Non-Hermitian Heff with probability-conservation corrections mechanism.
Experiments:
- Gain/loss–metric 2D scans: On PT/microwave platforms co-scan gain–loss and λ_η; measure ∂P_η/∂λ_η and ∂S_nonunit/∂ζ_PT.
- Leakage-channel gating: Programmatically tune coupling to control Γ_open; validate reversibility in L_leak and Δflux.
- Path-tension control: Modulate J_Path, G_env via external fields/thermal gradients; quantify ∂f_bend/∂J_Path and co-variation in P_η.
