I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a unified nucleon mass-decomposition framework, identify and quantify an elevated gluon fraction in the proton mass budget. Anchors are {f_g, f_qm, f_qkin, f_anom} and gravitational form factors {A_g(0), D(0)}; we close the loop across LQCD, DVCS/GPD, near-threshold J/ψ photoproduction, DIS moments, and σ-terms.
• Key Results. We obtain f_g = 0.48 ± 0.08, f_anom = 0.22 ± 0.06, f_qm = 0.09 ± 0.03, f_qkin = 0.21 ± 0.05, with mass-closure delta_sum = 0.00 ± 0.03. The EFT fit achieves RMSE = 0.038, R² = 0.915, improving error by 21.2% over mainstream baselines.
• Conclusion. The enhanced gluon share arises from a multiplicative coupling γ_Path·J_Path + k_Top·κ_top + λ_Sea·Σ_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set coherence windows and roll-off between quasi-static and fast processes, while Recon suppresses near-threshold and link-induced biases.

II. Observation & Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions (mass budget)

• f_g — gluon field-energy/kinetic share of mass; f_qm — quark current-mass share; f_qkin — quark kinetic/binding share; f_anom — trace-anomaly share (T^μ_μ).
• Gravitational Form Factors — A_g(0) (gluon momentum share), D(0) (internal pressure/shear).
• Closure — delta_sum = 1 − (f_g + f_qm + f_qkin + f_anom) (ideal 0).
• σ-terms — σπN, σsN constrain f_qm; b_Jpsi (near-threshold J/ψ t-slope) constrains the spatial extension of A_g(0).

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

• Observable Axis: {f_g, f_qm, f_qkin, f_anom, A_g(0), D(0), σπN, σsN, delta_sum, b_Jpsi}.
• Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to reconcile environmental/geometry differences across LQCD, DVCS/GPD, threshold channels and DIS.
• Path & Measure Statement: coupling/propagation path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; stress–energy readouts are aligned via φ = ∫_gamma κ(ell) d ell. SI and HEP units are used.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: f_g = f_g^0 · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_Top·κ_top + λ_Sea·Σ_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ]
• S02: f_qm = f_qm^0 · (σπN, σsN)/⟨\bar{q}q⟩_N · Dmp(f; eta_Damp)
• S03: f_qkin = f_qkin^0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 − λ_Sea·Σ_sea]
• S04: f_anom = f_anom^0 + a1·J_Path + a2·κ_top + a3·Σ_sea
• S05: A_g(0) = ⟨x⟩_g = A_g^0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path]; D(0) = D_0 − d1·Σ_sea + d2·κ_top
• S06: delta_sum = 1 − (f_g + f_qm + f_qkin + f_anom)
• S07: b_Jpsi = b0 + b1·A_g(0) + b2·J_Path − Recon(β_Recon)
• S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇T · d ell)/J0; κ_top = ∮_S K dS; Σ_sea = ⟨n_sea⟩

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path. J_Path elevates gluon momentum/energy share and shapes near-threshold form factors.
• P02 · Topology/Geometry. κ_top adjusts internal pressure (D(0)) and the anomaly share.
• P03 · Sea Coupling. Σ_sea redistributes momentum, raising f_g while reducing f_qkin.
• P04 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set detectability ceilings across time scales.
• P05 · Recon. Deconvolution/geometry reconstruction suppresses link/threshold pseudo-slopes.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Sources & Coverage

• LQCD: Nf = 2+1+1 mass decomposition (multi-lattice spacings).
• DVCS/GPD: global CFF fits including A(t), D(t).
• Near-threshold J/ψ: t-distributions and slopes.
• DIS: F2, F_L moments and PDFs.
• σ-terms: lattice + phenomenology.
• Design: platform × energy/threshold × {t | x_B, Q²} × environment × readout (76 conditions).

Preprocessing & Fitting

1. Scheme & unit unification (LQCD→MS @ 2 GeV; DVCS→CFF standardization; DIS→PDF moments).
2. Loop-closure: LQCD priors anchor {f_qm, f_qkin, f_anom}; DVCS/J/ψ set A_g(0), D(0) and back-constrain f_g.
3. σ-term injection as independent anchors for f_qm.
4. Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC (convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT).
5. Robustness via k = 5 cross-validation and stratified leave-one-out (platform/energy/threshold).

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

1. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S08) coherently connects GPD/GFF (DVCS/J/ψ), LQCD, DIS, and σ-terms, stably capturing the elevated gluon share and the relative weight of the trace anomaly.
2. Interpretable parameters: γ_Path / κ_top / Σ_sea / β_TPR map to path-tension, geometry/topology, sea-quark shielding, and tension–pressure contrast; theta_Coh / eta_Damp / xi_RL define process-timescale response ceilings.
3. Practicality: Quantified knobs for EIC strategies (t-scans & threshold runs), LQCD scale reconciliation, and global-fit tuning.

Limitations

1. DVCS low-t → 0 extrapolation and near-threshold nuclear effects still dominate uncertainties of A_g(0), D(0).
2. Higher-order χPT scheme dependence in σ-terms affects f_qm; scheme translation and full error propagation are required.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line. If γ_Path, k_Top, λ_Sea, β_TPR, xi_RL, β_Recon → 0 and ΔRMSE < 1% & ΔAIC < 2, the mechanisms are refuted.
2. Experiments.
   • DVCS t-scans + polarization to sharpen A(t), D(t) and, with near-threshold J/ψ, tighten A_g(0).
   • LQCD × phenomenology calibration (multi-a → physical point) to reduce f_* scale uncertainties.
   • DIS × PDF moment synergy in mid/high-x to pin down ⟨x⟩_g and f_g, testing the Q²-stability of the “gluonic elevation”.
