I. Abstract

• Objective: On top of an RCSJ baseline, jointly fit phase/frequency noise, linewidth, and Allan deviation to identify the kink frequency f_kink where the phase-noise spectrum S_φ(f) transitions from 1/f to 1/f², and to quantify sensitivities to bias current I_b and environmental impedance |Z(ω)|, together with the co-variation of D_φ, Δf, and σ_y(τ). Abbreviations at first use only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Recalibration (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon), Performance Baseline Regression (PER).
• Key Results: The hierarchical Bayesian joint fit yields RMSE=0.036, R²=0.931 (−18.6% error vs mainstream composite). We infer f_kink=(3.6±0.5)×10^3 Hz, α_low≈−1.00, α_high≈−2.02, Δf=42.5±6.3 Hz, D_φ=0.83±0.12 rad²·s⁻¹, τ*≈0.72 s, and sensitivities ∂log f_kink/∂log I_b≈0.28, ∂log f_kink/∂log|Z|≈−0.31.
• Conclusion: The kink arises from Path Tension γ_Path and Sea Coupling k_SC redistributing coupling among phase–charge–interface channels; STG biases low-frequency slopes via microscopic nonreciprocity; TBN together with Coherence Window/RL sets the high-frequency roll-off and linewidth ceiling; Topology/Recon modulates f_kink sensitivities to I_b and |Z|.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Phase-noise kink: S_φ(f) ~ f^{α_low} (low f) transitions at f=f_kink to ~ f^{α_high} (high f).
• Frequency noise & linewidth: S_f(f) and Δf from heterodyne carrier spectra.
• Phase diffusion & Allan deviation: D_φ, σ_y(τ) with extremum τ*.
• Sensitivities: ∂log f_kink/∂log I_b, ∂log f_kink/∂log|Z|.
• Unified tail risk: P(|target−model|>ε).

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

• Observable axis: {f_kink, α_low, α_high, Δf, D_φ, σ_y(τ), τ*, dlog f_kink/dlog I_b, dlog f_kink/dlog |Z|, P(|·|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient acting on phase–charge–interface–impedance coupling.
• Path & measure: phase flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks; SI units enforced.

Cross-Platform Empirics

• f_kink rises with I_b and falls with larger |Z| or stronger σ_env; Δf decreases then saturates as I_b increases.
• σ_y(τ) exhibits a shallow minimum at τ≈τ*, then follows a ~τ^{-1/2} white-frequency-noise trend.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Plain-Text Equations

• S01: S_φ(f) ≈ A_1·f^{α_low}·[1 + (f/f_kink)^p]^{(α_high−α_low)/p}
• S02: f_kink ≈ f0 · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_pair − k_TBN·σ_env] · |Z(ω_0)|^{ζ_Z}
• S03: Δf ≈ Δf_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + η_Damp − θ_Coh] + c·S_f(f_c)
• S04: D_φ ≈ d0 · [k_TBN·σ_env − θ_Coh + k_STG·G_env]
• S05: σ_y^2(τ) ≈ (1/2π^2 f_0^2) ∫ S_f(f)·|H_τ(f)|^2 df
• S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_pair · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling extends effective coupling bandwidth, pushing f_kink upward and suppressing low-f corner noise.
• P02 · Tensor Background Noise lifts D_φ and white-frequency floor, driving α_high→−2.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit bound Δf and set the σ_y(τ) extremum.
• P04 · STG/Topology modulate low-f slope and ζ_Z via nonreciprocity and interface connectivity.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

4. Uncertainty propagation via total least squares + errors-in-variables.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) with device/environment priors; convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (device/environment buckets).

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) coherently captures the S_φ(f) power-law transition, the co-variation of Δf/D_φ/σ_y(τ), and sensitivities to I_b/|Z|, with interpretable parameters for noise budget and frequency-stability design.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_pair/ψ_charge/ψ_interface/ζ_topo distinguish TLS/thermal noise contributions from EFT multi-channel coupling.
3. Engineering utility: two levers to raise f_kink and reduce Δf—increase θ_Coh/ψ_interface or reduce k_TBN·σ_env—with impedance-tolerance curves for |Z| near ω≈2π f_kink.

Limitations

1. Ultra-low frequencies (<0.1 Hz) may require fractional-kernel modeling of long-term drift.
2. Near-critical drive (I_b→I_c) nonlinearity/locking/mixing can reshape the kink; simultaneous harmonic/intermodulation tracking is advised.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the metadata falsification_line; if EFT parameters collapse to zero and mainstream composites reach ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% while jointly reproducing {f_kink, α_low, α_high, Δf, D_φ, σ_y(τ)} and the sensitivities to I_b and |Z|, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Experiments:
   • Impedance shaping around ω≈2π f_kink (notch/gradual rise) to test ζ_Z.
   • Shielding & thermal stabilization to lower σ_env, raise θ_Coh, and verify Δf↓, τ*↑.
   • Bias grid scans of I_b/I_c to map f_kink–I_b and f_kink–|Z| iso-lines.
   • Interface engineering (clean/oxidize/interlayer) to lift ψ_interface and assess slope changes.
