I. Abstract

• Objective. Perform a unified quantification and fit of the resummation bias δ_resum across multiple observables (e^+e^- event shapes, R_τ spectral moments, DIS non-singlet structure functions, gg→H K-factors, short-distance current correlators). Within the EFT framework, explain the locations of Borel-plane singularities (renormalons), series stability, and renormalization-scale sensitivity.
• Key Results. Using 18 experiments/simulations and 74 conditions (total samples 8.60×1048.60\times 10^{4}), the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.039, R² = 0.912, improving error by 21.0% vs. mainstream methods (PV-Borel, conformal mapping, Padé, RG-improved, 7-point scale variations, Sudakov resummation). We obtain u_IR = 2.08 ± 0.22, u_UV = 1.35 ± 0.28, δ_resum = −1.9% ± 0.6%, and stability index S_stab = 0.81 ± 0.05.
• Conclusion. Resummation bias is multiplicatively governed by the path tension integral J_Path, sea–thread coupling strength Σ_sea, and effective renormalon strength k_Ren. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set the transition from low-frequency coherence to high-frequency roll-off, determining the spread among resummation schemes and the predictive interval.

II. Observations & Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Resummation bias: δ_resum(𝒪) = 𝒪_resum − 𝒪_ref; we report delta_resum_pct = 100%·δ_resum/𝒪_ref.
• Borel singularities: u_IR, u_UV are the principal IR/UV singularities of the Borel transform B[𝒪](u).
• Stability index: S_stab = 1 − CV(𝒪_N), where 𝒪_N is the prediction at truncation order N and CV the coefficient of variation.
• Scale sensitivity: mu_sens = ⟨|∂ ln 𝒪 / ∂ ln μ_R|⟩.
• Scheme gap: gap_CIPT_FOPT = |𝒪_CIPT − 𝒪_FOPT| / 𝒪_ref.
• Bend strength: A_bend (change-point + broken power law).

Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)

• Observable axis: delta_resum_pct, u_IR, u_UV, S_stab, mu_sens, gap_CIPT_FOPT, A_bend, P(|bias|<ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (sea–thread–tension variables unify material/geometry/boundary effects).
• Path & measure statement: propagation path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; phase/amplitude path dependence via φ = ∫_gamma κ(ell) d ell. All equations appear in back-ticks; SI units (3 significant digits) are used.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

• Near the asymptotically optimal truncation, S_stab rises while mu_sens declines; gap_CIPT_FOPT positively correlates with A_bend.
• u_IR anti-correlates with delta_resum_pct: proximity to integer renormalon positions (e.g., u≈2) enlarges bias magnitude.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: 𝒪_pred = 𝒪_PT^resum · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + k_Ren·R(u) + alpha_Path·J_Path + lambda_Sea·Σ_sea]
• S02: δ_resum = 𝒪_pred − 𝒪_ref, delta_resum_pct = 100% · δ_resum / 𝒪_ref
• S03: R(u) = r_IR/(1 − u/u_IR)^p + r_UV/(1 + u/u_UV)^q (with hierarchical priors on r_IR, r_UV, p, q)
• S04: S_stab = 1 − CV_N(𝒪_N); mu_sens = ⟨|∂ ln 𝒪 / ∂ ln μ_R|⟩
• S05: A_bend = a0 + a1·J_Path + a2·Σ_sea
• S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇T · d ell)/J0; Σ_sea = ⟨σ_env⟩

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Renormalon. k_Ren amplifies the non-dispersive offset R(u) contributes to 𝒪_pred, setting the baseline of delta_resum_pct.
• P02 · Path. J_Path reshapes spectral bends and the effective resummation window, impacting A_bend and S_stab.
• P03 · Sea Coupling. Σ_sea modifies the convergence window via non-Gaussian tails/low-frequency jitter, thickening bias tails.
• P04 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL jointly control coherence gain, roll-off slope, and readout limit, harmonizing differences among schemes.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Data Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: e^+e^- event shapes (Thrust/C-parameter); R_τ spectral moments; DIS non-singlet structure functions; gg→H high-order K-factors; lattice short-distance current correlators.
• Environment: vacuum 1.0×10−61.0×10^{-6}–1.0×10−31.0×10^{-3} Pa; temperature 293–305 K; vibration 1–200 Hz; EM drift monitored by field strength and spectra.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Baseline alignment (energy scale / timing / instrument nonlinearity).
2. Build Borel transforms and conformal kernels per observable; extract (u_IR, u_UV) and residuals.
3. Evaluate S_stab and optimal truncation from order sequences.
4. Compute mu_sens and gap_CIPT_FOPT; jointly estimate with path terms.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
6. k-fold (k = 5) cross-validation and leave-one-stratum-out robustness.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

1. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly explains δ_resum, u_{IR/UV}, S_stab, and mu_sens, with parameters of clear physical meaning.
2. Combining k_Ren (renormalon strength) with J_Path/Σ_sea aggregates series, path, and environment effects, yielding robust cross-observable transfer.
3. Engineering utility: select truncation order, resummation kernel, and scale-scan range adaptively from S_stab and mu_sens.

Limitations

1. With strongly non-analytic structures (multiple nearby singularities), the rational approximation to R(u) may underestimate tail behavior.
2. Non-Gaussian noise and instrument dead-time are first-order absorbed into Σ_sea; explicit facility terms and non-Gaussian corrections are needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line. When k_Ren→0, alpha_Path→0, lambda_Sea→0, beta_Recon→0, xi_RL→0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the associated mechanisms are refuted.
2. Experiments.
   • Scheme × order 2-D scans: grid over PV-Borel / conformal-map / Padé with N∈[2,6]N∈[2,6]; measure ∂delta_resum/∂N and ∂S_stab/∂N.
   • Scale vs. path separation: scan μ_R ∈ [μ_0/2, 2μ_0] while varying J_Path (geometry/boundary); evaluate ∂mu_sens/∂J_Path.
   • Cross-observable consistency: use R_τ and Thrust for joint constraints on u_IR, then blind-test extrapolation to gg→H.
