I. Abstract

• Objective. Quantify and fit how crustal density uncertainty along the propagation path imprints a phase term on neutrino oscillations. Use phase residual φ_res(E,L), shifts of oscillation minima ΔE_min,n, phase spectrum S_φ(k), and cross-experiment residual lag τ_cc as unified targets. Compare EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/Recon) with mainstream “fixed-density PREM + energy-only template” baselines.
• Key Results. Across 9 datasets, 72 conditions, and 2.93×10^5 samples, the EFT model achieves RMSE = 0.038, R² = 0.905, improving error by 15.1% over baselines; the inferred f_bend = 0.42 ± 0.10 (1/GeV) increases with path tension integral J_Path and environmental tension-gradient index G_env.
• Conclusion. The phase term is governed by the multiplicative coupling J_Path × (STG + TPR) × TBN; theta_Coh and eta_Damp control coherence retention and high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL absorbs readout nonlinearities. EFT yields consistent gains and stronger extrapolation across reactor, long-baseline, and atmospheric samples.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

2.1 Observables and Definitions

• Phase residual: φ_res(E,L) = φ_obs − φ_baseline).
• Minima shifts: ΔE_min,n = E_min,n^obs − E_min,n^base.
• Survival/appearance: P_ee(E), P_μμ(E,cosθ_z).
• Phase spectrum & bend: S_φ(k); f_bend in energy domain (unit 1/GeV).
• Cross-experiment lag: τ_cc as the maximum cross-correlation lag of phase-residual series.
• Tail risk: P(|Δφ|>τ).

2.2 Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)

• Observable axis: φ_res, ΔE_min,n, P_ee/P_μμ, S_φ(k), f_bend, τ_cc, P(|Δφ|>τ).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: propagation path gamma(ell) with measure d ell;
  J_Path = ∫_gamma κ_T(ell,E) d ell, where κ_T aggregates crust/lithosphere density uncertainty, potential fluctuations, and effective tension density. Formulae appear in backticks; SI units (3 significant digits).

2.3 Empirical Phenomena (Across Datasets)

• In reactor and long-baseline spectra, oscillation minima show systematic micro-shifts with azimuth/season/topographic path.
• Atmospheric samples exhibit heavier phase tails and mid-band steps at large |cosθ_z| (longer traversal paths).

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

3.1 Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: φ_EFT(E,L) = φ0(E,L) + gamma_Path · J_Path(E,L)
• S02: J_Path(E,L) = ∫_gamma [ k_STG · G_env(ell) + beta_TPR · Φ_T(ell) ] d ell
• S03: P_ee(E) = 1 − sin^2(2θ13_eff) · sin^2( Δm31^2_eff · L/(4E) + φ_EFT )
• S04: P_μμ(E,cosθ_z) extends similarly to multi-flavor channels with φ_EFT.
• S05: S_φ(k) ~ A / (1 + (k/f_bend)^p), with slope p set by eta_Damp.
• S06: ΔE_min,n ≈ − (∂φ_EFT/∂E) / (∂^2Φ/∂E^2) (first-order expansion at minima).
• S07: RL(ξ; xi_RL) encodes response ceilings; k_TBN thickens heavy tails in φ_res.
• S08: G_env = b1·∇ρ_crust + b2·∇Φ_grav + b3·hetero_mix (dimensionless normalization).

3.2 Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path. J_Path maps crustal-density uncertainty into phase offsets and bend upshifts.
• P02 · STG. Statistical tension folds crustal gradients and lateral heterogeneity into effective phase terms.
• P03 · TPR. Tension-potential redshift (extending GR channels) introduces slow energy–phase coupling.
• P04 · TBN. Local tension noise thickens P(|Δφ|>τ) tails and amplifies mid-band power.
• P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL bound coherence window, roll-off slope, and system limits.
• P06 · Recon. Joint priors from geophysical models (CRUST1.0/LITHO1.0) and seismic tomography reconstruct G_env.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

4.1 Sources and Coverage (excerpt)

4.2 Preprocessing & Fitting Pipeline

1. Path geometry. Discretize each gamma(ell); sample ρ_crust, Φ_T.
2. Series construction. Compute φ_res, ΔE_min,n, S_φ(k); register J_Path, G_env.
3. Hierarchical Bayesian fit (MCMC) with Gelman–Rubin and IAT checks.
4. Bend estimation. Broken-power + change-point model for f_bend.
5. Robustness. k = 5 CV and leave-one-group (by platform/azimuth).

5.1 Dimension Scores (0–10; linear weights; total = 100)

5.2 Aggregate Comparison (common metric set)

5.3 Rank by Advantage (EFT − Mainstream, descending)

VI. Concluding Assessment

• Strengths. The EFT path-integral + phase structure (S01–S08) jointly explains phase offsets, minima drifts, and phase-bend upshifts across diverse baselines and energy windows. The positive gamma_Path and the rise of f_bend indicate suppression of mid–low “energy-domain frequencies” and coherence preservation via J_Path.
• Blind Spots. Linear combination in G_env may underfit higher-order couplings under strong lateral heterogeneity; energy-window drifts can confound xi_RL.
• Engineering Guidance. Inject J_Path priors per acquisition (by arrival direction and baseline length); tighten energy-scale stability and resolution; use narrower windows and adaptive eta_Damp scheduling where lithologic uncertainty is high.
