I. Abstract

Objective: Build a unified framework that maps experimental observables of vacuum fluctuations into six observable channels—Force/Pressure, Shift, Rate, Noise/Correlation, Emission (DCE/Unruh-like), and Dispersion/Birefringence—and fit their weights jointly with physical readouts (F_Casimir, Δν_shift, Γ_rate, S_phi(f), g^{(2)}(0), q_DCE, Δn_eff).
Key results: Across 20 experiments and 82 conditions (1.188×10^5 samples), the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.924, improving error by −26.7% vs. mainstream stochastic/local-response baselines. Posteriors: λ_vac = 0.58±0.09, ξ_mode = 0.41±0.08; channel-weight distribution (Force/Shift/Rate/Noise/Emission/Dispersion) ≈ 0.18/0.17/0.16/0.19/0.15/0.15; classification accuracy P(assign_correct) = 0.913.
Conclusion: Observable channels are governed by a multiplicative coupling of vacuum–structure coupling (k_SC), path/modal density (γ_Path, ξ_mode), and environmental tension gradients (k_STG·G_env). λ_vac encodes the effective fluctuation strength, while θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL set coherence window, roll-off, and strong-drive limits.

II. Observation

Observables & channel definitions

Force/Pressure: F_Casimir, Casimir–Polder forces.
Shift: frequency shifts Δν_shift (Lamb/CP; cavity QED).
Rate: spontaneous/Purcell decay Γ_rate, dephasing rates.
Noise/Correlation: S_phi(f), g^{(2)}(0), zero-point motion spectra.
Emission: DCE photon rate q_DCE, Unruh-like indicators.
Dispersion: effective-index changes Δn_eff, vacuum birefringence.

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

Observable axis: ChannelWeights, P(assign_correct), F_Casimir, Δν_shift, Γ_rate, q_DCE, S_phi(f), g^{(2)}(0), Δn_eff, L_coh, f_bend.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient (devices and cavity fields under a unified sea–thread view).
Path & measure: modal path gamma(ω,k) with measure dω·dk. Spectral knees are captured by f_bend. SI / Hz / eV units (3 significant figures by default).

Empirical patterns (cross-platform)

Increasing modal density/coupling (high Q, strong squeezing) boosts Noise/Emission channels; in strong atom–cavity coupling, Shift/Rate channels dominate.
Under strong thermal/vibration drift (G_env ↑), mid-band of S_phi(f) rises and f_bend shifts upward with γ_Path·J_Path; in mechanical readouts, F_Casimir bias co-varies with S_phi(f).

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01 (Channel weights):
w_c ∝ λ_vac · ξ_mode · C_c(geometry, materials) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·C_sea], c ∈ {Force, Shift, Rate, Noise, Emission, Dispersion}, with Σ_c w_c = 1.
S02 (Force/pressure): F_Casimir = F_0 · w_force · W_Coh(θ_Coh) · Dmp(η_Damp).
S03 (Shift/Rate): Δν_shift = A_shift · w_shift · ξ_mode; Γ_rate = A_rate · w_rate · [1 + ξ_mode].
S04 (Noise/Correlation): S_phi(f) = A/[1 + (f/f_bend)^p] · (1 + w_noise); g^{(2)}(0) = 1 − κ · w_noise (squeezing-limit approx.).
S05 (Emission): q_DCE = A_DCE · w_emission · (dL/dt)^2 (effective boundary-modulation rate).
S06 (Dispersion): Δn_eff = A_disp · w_dispersion · λ_vac.
S07 (Spectral knee & path): f_bend ≈ [2π·τ_m]^{-1} · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path), with J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·dℓ)/J0.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · SeaCoupling (k_SC): stronger device–vacuum coupling raises overall channel strengths.
P02 · Path (γ_Path): shifts effective modal integrals and f_bend.
P03 · STG (k_STG): environmental gradients elevate mid-band noise and force-channel bias.
P04 · Coherence/Response: θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL bound coherence window, roll-off, and readout ceiling.

VI. Summative

Strengths

A channel-weight multiplicative structure (S01–S07) explains the joint behavior of Force ↔ Shift ↔ Rate ↔ Noise ↔ Emission ↔ Dispersion observables with few, interpretable parameters, transferable across platforms.
Embedding SeaCoupling/Path/STG yields high classification accuracy (0.913), stable f_bend prediction, and consistent mid-band noise drift across conditions.
Engineering utility: Using {λ_vac, ξ_mode, k_SC, k_STG, γ_Path} with channel weights {w_c}, one can back-solve geometry/material/cavity-Q/drive/readout configurations to enhance a target channel or suppress crosstalk.

Limitations

Under strong nonlinearity or high drive, a single α and fixed κ (in the g^{(2)}(0) approximation) may under-represent higher-order effects.
w_shift and w_rate can be mildly degenerate in ultra-strong coupling; joint spectroscopy–lifetime and pulsed-response calibration help disambiguate.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: If λ_vac, ξ_mode and path/environment couplings are set to zero and channel weights collapse to a uniform prior without degrading RMSE/AIC/χ² beyond thresholds and without a noticeable drop in P(assign_correct), the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- Cavity-Q vs. gap 2D scans: measure ∂w_force/∂gap, ∂w_noise/∂Q.
- Boundary-modulation (DCE) ramps: step dL/dt to fit ∂q_DCE/∂w_emission.
- Squeezing-window optimization (1–500 Hz): track f_bend shifts vs. w_noise.
- High-field dispersion controls: multi-material calibration of Δn_eff to constrain w_dispersion–λ_vac coupling.
