I. Abstract

Objective. Build a unified fit across RHIC polarized data, SIDIS/TMD, JLab DVCS/GTMD/GFF, and LQCD under the Ji sum rule and Jaffe–Manohar decompositions to quantify the orbital angular momentum (OAM) gap and extract L_q, L_g with uncertainties, tracing mechanisms responsible for the gap.
Key Results. At the common scale Q^2 = 10 GeV^2, we obtain ΔΣ = 0.30 ± 0.03, ΔG = 0.20 ± 0.06, hence L_q = 0.11 ± 0.06, L_g = 0.04 ± 0.08, with closure closure_spin = 0.00 ± 0.03. The EFT model reduces RMSE by 21.1% versus mainstream baselines, indicating that a multiplicative structure in path-tension, topology, sea coupling, and coherence window robustly absorbs cross-platform systematics.
Conclusion. The observed OAM “gap” is chiefly driven by insufficient path-tension integral J_Path, sea-quark redistribution Σ_sea, and lensing torque (encoded by k_LT). theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL govern detectability windows from DVCS/GPD (quasi-static) to SIDIS/TMD (fast); Recon suppresses near-threshold and link-induced biases.

II. Observation & Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Spin closure. 1/2 = 1/2·ΔΣ + ΔG + L_q + L_g (Jaffe–Manohar); J_q = 1/2[A_q(0)+B_q(0)], J_g = 1/2[A_g(0)+B_g(0)] (Ji).
GFF/GPD anchors. A_{q,g}(0) (momentum share), B_{q,g}(0) (linked to the anomalous gravitomagnetic sum, near zero in total).
TMD/GTMD proxies. Sivers_first_moment, ETQS_TF, and k_LT (lensing torque) constrain L_q.
Gap definition. gap_OAM ≡ L_q + L_g − L_proxy, where L_proxy is built from GPD-E and TMD-Sivers proxies only.

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

Observable Axis: ΔΣ, ΔG, L_q, L_g, J_q, J_g, A_q(0), A_g(0), B_q(0), B_g(0), Sivers_first_moment, ETQS_TF, gap_OAM, closure_spin.
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient unify beam/threshold/geometry/field differences.
Path & Measure Statement: coupling path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; common path dependence for the stress–energy tensor and GTMD encoded via φ = ∫_gamma κ(ell) d ell. SI and HEP units are used; equations appear in back-ticks.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: ΔΣ = ΔΣ^0 · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp)
S02: ΔG = ΔG^0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path]
S03: L_q = L_q^0 + c1·(Sivers_first_moment) + c2·ETQS_TF + c3·k_LT + c4·J_Path + c5·Σ_sea
S04: L_g = L_g^0 + d1·J_Path + d2·Σ_sea + d3·κ_top
S05: J_q = 1/2 [A_q(0)+B_q(0)], J_g = 1/2 [A_g(0)+B_g(0)]
S06: A_{q,g}(0) = ⟨x⟩_{q,g} · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path], B_q(0)+B_g(0) ≈ 0
S07: closure_spin = 1/2 − (1/2·ΔΣ + ΔG + L_q + L_g)
S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇T · d ell)/J0; Σ_sea = ⟨n_sea⟩; κ_top = ∮_S K dS

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. J_Path simultaneously enhances the identifiable shares of ΔG and L_{q,g}, repairing proxy-only OAM deficits.
P02 · Sea Coupling. Σ_sea redistributes momentum (raising A_g(0)) and tilts the L_q/L_g ratio.
P03 · Topology. κ_top fine-tunes L_g and the sign/magnitude of B_g(0).
P04 · Coh/Damp/RL. Sets response limits and roll-off across process time scales.
P05 · Recon. Deconvolution/geometry reconstruction suppresses DVCS/near-threshold link biases.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

A single multiplicative structure (S01–S08) coherently ties GFF/GPD (Ji), polarized PDFs & RHIC (ΔG), TMD/ETQS (OAM proxies), and LQCD (absolute scale), naturally repairing proxy-only OAM gaps.
Interpretable parameters: γ_Path / Σ_sea / κ_top / k_LT map to path, sea coupling, geometric topology, and lensing-torque, respectively.
Practical value: informs EIC-era strategies (t-scan, target polarization, x_B partitioning) and global-fit tuning with quantified knobs.

Limitations

The TMD→GTMD uplift relies on model kernels; correlations between k_LT and Σ_sea grow at high-x.
DVCS low-t extrapolation to t→0 still dominates the error budget of B_{q,g}(0).

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line. If γ_Path, k_Top, λ_Sea, β_TPR, ξ_RL, β_Recon, k_LT → 0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the mechanisms are refuted.
Experiments.
- DVCS t-scan × polarization: densify A,B measurements to tighten J_q,J_g extrapolation and the AGM zero-sum test.
- SIDIS/TMD multi-energy runs: decouple k_LT–Σ_sea correlations in mid/high-x bins.
- RHIC/EIC joint ΔG: combine jets+π^0 with open heavy flavor to sharpen OAM closure to ±0.02.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

Leave-one-out (by platform/energy/process): posterior shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
Stratified robustness: at higher Σ_sea, A_g(0) rises and L_q/L_g ratio slightly tilts; closure_spin remains compatible with zero.
Noise stress test: with ±10% polarization calibration and PU common-mode, ΔG shifts < 12% and gap_OAM < 0.01.
Prior sensitivity: with k_LT ~ N(0.15, 0.08^2), conclusions are stable (ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6).
Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.041; blind new-data tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
