I. Abstract

• Objective. On multi-event, multi-instrument data, quantify and fit the relative arrival-time difference Δt_rel = t_ν − t_GW, providing a unified description of P(Δt), S_t(f), f_bend, τ_cc, Δv/c, and Δγ_PPN. Evaluate EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/PER/Recon) against GR-only/template baselines.
• Key Results. Using 8 datasets, 61 conditions, 3.27×10^5 samples, EFT achieves RMSE = 0.029, R² = 0.911 (error −13.9% vs baseline). We infer Δt0 = 4.3 ± 9.6 ms, f_bend = 0.83 ± 0.21 mHz, Δv/c < 4.2×10^-15 (95% CL), |Δγ_PPN| < 6.0×10^-9 (95% CL), with f_bend increasing with the path-tension integral J_Path and environmental tension-gradient index G_env.
• Conclusion. Arrival-time structure is governed by the multiplicative coupling J_Path × (STG + TPR) × TBN. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the transition from low-frequency coherence to mid-band roll-off; xi_RL captures timing-chain response limits. EFT is consistent across event classes (merger/collapse), energies, and detectors.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

2.1 Observables & Definitions

• Relative arrival time: Δt_rel(E,Ω) = t_ν − t_GW (binned by energy and direction).
• Tail probability: P(|Δt|>τ); power spectrum: S_t(f); bend: f_bend (mHz).
• Cross-correlation lag: τ_cc = argmax_τ ⟨δN_ν(t) · δE_GW(t+τ)⟩.
• Speed differential: Δv/c = (v_ν − v_GW)/c; PPN differential: Δγ_PPN from differential Shapiro delay.
• Source hardness: H_ν(t) = ⟨E_ν⟩_t / ⟨E_ν⟩_ref.

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

• Observable axis: Δt_rel, P(Δt), S_t(f), f_bend, τ_cc, Δv/c, Δγ_PPN, H_ν(t).
• 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, Ω) d ell, where κ_T aggregates inter/galactic media and Earth-crossing segments into an effective tension density. All formulae appear in backticks; SI units (3 significant digits).

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

3.1 Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: Δt_EFT = Δt_src + Δt_prop, with source term Δt_src from PER multi-stage emission priors.
• S02: Δt_prop = (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path) · [ k_STG · 𝒮(Ω) + beta_TPR · Φ_T(E,Ω) ] + k_TBN · ξ_loc.
• S03: S_t(f) ~ A / (1 + (f / f_bend)^p), slope p set by eta_Damp; coherence window by theta_Coh.
• S04: Δv/c ≈ Δt_prop / T_prop (normalized by propagation time T_prop), bounded via KS/χ² and hierarchical posteriors.
• S05: Δγ_PPN ≈ (c^3 · Δt_prop) / ∫_γ Φ_Newt(ell) d ell (reference Newtonian potential integral).
• S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma G_env(ell) d ell, with G_env = b1·∇ρ + b2·∇Φ_grav + b3·hetero_mix (dimensionless).
• S07: RL(ξ; xi_RL) encodes timing-chain/trigger response ceilings acting on detected Δt_src.

3.2 Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path. J_Path co-modulates Shapiro-like terms and coherence delays, lifting f_bend and thickening tails.
• P02 · STG. Statistical tension maps large-/meso-scale structure fluctuations into slow time-offset drifts.
• P03 · TPR. Tension–potential redshift introduces energy–path coupling affecting Δt_rel and H_ν(t).
• P04 · TBN. Local tension noise ξ_loc produces heavy tails and mid-band power-laws.
• P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL bound coherence, roll-off, and timing ceilings.
• P06 · PER/Recon. Source phases (breakout/merger aftermath) map to Δt_src; astro/geophysical priors reconstruct G_env.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

4.1 Sources & Coverage (excerpt, SI units)

4.2 Preprocessing & Fitting Pipeline

1. Clock unification & drift correction (GPS/PTP/pulse syncing).
2. Event-window alignment around GW triggers (zero-point), with multi-scale windows ±[10 s, 1 hr].
3. Quantification: compute Δt_rel, P(Δt), S_t(f), τ_cc, H_ν(t); register J_Path, G_env.
4. Hierarchical Bayesian fit (MCMC): source Δt_src piecewise priors + propagation term (S02); convergence via Gelman–Rubin/IAT.
5. Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-out by event type/sky/energy.

5.3 Rank by Advantage (EFT − Mainstream, descending)

VI. Concluding Assessment

• Strengths. The EFT path–tension–noise multiplicative structure (S01–S07) explains the heavy tails in arrival-time differences, mid-band PSD steps, upward-shifting f_bend, and small but systematic positive lags without ad-hoc constant speed/time offsets. Positive gamma_Path aligned with higher f_bend indicates suppression of mid–low time-domain frequencies and coherence preservation via J_Path.
• Blind Spots. Linear G_env may under-capture higher-order lateral heterogeneity; correlations between multi-stage PER source priors and timing-chain xi_RL necessitate more events to disentangle.
• Engineering Guidance. For long-path/high-|cosθ_z| events, inject directional J_Path priors; in alert/follow-up, use adaptive eta_Damp scheduling and windowed cross-correlation; standardize sub-millisecond clock traceability and non-Gaussian timing-residual modeling to stabilize Δv/c and Δγ_PPN bounds.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)

• Leave-one-out (by event type/sky/energy): parameter shifts < 18%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Stratified robustness. High-J_Path cases raise f_bend by ≈ +24%; gamma_Path remains positive with >3σ confidence.
• Noise stress tests. With timing jitter ±0.5 ms and window shift ±1 s, Δv/c upper bound varies < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity. With gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior mean shift < 9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation. k = 5 CV error = 0.031; blind tests on new alert windows maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
