934 | Burst Unlocking in Josephson Phase-Locked Networks | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Under a multi-platform framework—RCSJ arrays, microwave phase locking/modulation, phase-noise metrology, time-domain phase slips & telegraph noise, network topology/delay measurement, and SQUID/lock-in imaging—we quantify burst unlocking in Josephson phase-locked networks. Unified targets: λ_burst, P_th/Ω_th, R(t), ΔV_n, D_φ, S_φ(f), χ_ch, τ_ch, V_net, ∂λ_burst/∂V_net to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon).
- Key Results: Across 11 experiments, 59 conditions, 5.8×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE = 0.040, R² = 0.921, a 19.0% error reduction vs. the RCSJ + Kuramoto + 1/f-noise + delay/topology-mismatch baseline. Estimates: λ_burst = 0.72±0.15 Hz, P_th = −18.6±1.3 dBm, Ω_th = 7.8±0.6 GHz, ΔR = 0.43±0.08, ΔV_1 = −12.5±3.4 μV, D_φ = (1.9±0.4)×10^4 rad²/s, S_φ(1 Hz) = (3.2±0.7)×10^−3 rad²/Hz, χ_ch = 0.27±0.06, τ_ch = 4.6±1.1 ms, V_net = 0.38±0.08.
- Conclusion: Burst unlocking is triggered by Path-Tension × Sea Coupling pulling the synchronization channel out of equilibrium; STG amplifies long-range phase gain and sharpens the unlocking threshold; TBN sets the 1/f floor and the knee f_c; Coherence Window/RL bound the lock stability region and re-adhesion time; Topology/Recon modulates network fragility V_net and step anomaly ΔV_n via degree/delay/reconnection.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
- Burst & thresholds: rate λ_burst; drive threshold P_th and frequency threshold Ω_th.
- Synchronization: order parameter R(t) and drop ΔR at unlocking.
- Electrical signatures: Shapiro-step anomaly ΔV_n; phase diffusion D_φ.
- Phase noise: S_φ(f) 1/f tail and corner f_c.
- Spatial/topological: chimera fraction χ_ch, lifetime τ_ch; fragility V_net and slope ∂λ_burst/∂V_net.
Unified Fitting Conventions (Observable Axis + Medium Axis + Path/Measure Declaration)
- Observable Axis: {λ_burst, P_th, Ω_th, R, ΔR, ΔV_n, D_φ, S_φ(f), f_c, χ_ch, τ_ch, V_net, ∂λ_burst/∂V_net, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
- Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient weighting synchronization/delay/topology/environment channels.
- Path & Measure: phase/energy flow along gamma(ell) (measure d ell); accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ, ∮ ∂φ dt, and ∫ S_φ(f) df (SI units).
Empirical Regularities (Cross-platform)
- Increasing microwave power or injecting low-frequency noise raises λ_burst and triggers a sharp R drop.
- Small delay/mismatch yields chimera clusters (χ_ch>0) and shortens τ_ch.
- S_φ(f) shows a 1/f rise for f<f_c; ΔV_n covaries with D_φ.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: R(t) ≈ R0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_sync − k_TBN·σ_env − η_Damp]
- S02: λ_burst ≈ λ0 · exp{ a1·(P_rf−P_th)/P_th + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·θ_Coh }
- S03: ΔV_n ∝ − D_φ · [1 − zeta_recon·ψ_topo], S_φ(f) ≈ S0·(f/f_c)^{-α_eff}
- S04: χ_ch ≈ b1·ψ_delay + b2·ψ_topo − b3·θ_Coh, τ_ch ≈ τ0 / [1 + b4·ψ_delay]
- S05: V_net ≈ c1·ψ_topo + c2·ψ_delay + c3·β_TPR, ∂λ_burst/∂V_net ≈ d1·k_STG − d2·η_Damp
Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling increases synchronization stiffness (γ_Path×J_Path, k_SC), suppressing small-perturbation unlocking.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG lowers unlocking threshold by boosting inter-node phase gain; TBN sets the 1/f floor and controls diffusion via f_c.
- P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL set lock-domain width and re-adhesion time.
- P04 · Topology/Recon/TPR: ψ_topo/ψ_delay/zeta_recon tune fragility; β_TPR mitigates measurement bias.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of λ_burst/P_th/Ω_th, R/ΔR, ΔV_n/D_φ, S_φ(f)/f_c, χ_ch/τ_ch, and V_net/∂λ_burst/∂V_net, with interpretable parameters to guide lock-domain design, noise-spectrum shaping, and topology/delay engineering.
- Mechanistic identifiability: strong posteriors across γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_sync/ψ_delay/ψ_topo/ψ_env/zeta_recon disentangle synchronization stiffness, delay mismatch, topological reconnection, and environmental noise.
- Engineering utility: predictive intervals for P_th/Ω_th and V_net support anti-unlock optimization and Shapiro-step fidelity improvements.
Limitations
- Under strong nonlinearity/drive, multimode memory kernels and non-Gaussian noise (e.g., Lévy/telegraph mixtures) may be required.
- For very large networks, long-tail coupling and delay distributions can dominate unlocking, calling for heavy-tailed modeling.
Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification Line: see falsification_line in the metadata.
- Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan P_rf × Ω_rf and V_net × σ_env to chart λ_burst, ΔR, ΔV_n and identify stability boundaries;
- Topology/delay engineering: programmable interconnects and delay lines to sweep ψ_topo/ψ_delay, testing linear→sublinear segments of ∂λ_burst/∂V_net;
- Spectrum shaping: notch-filter S_φ(f) at low frequencies to push f_c right and reduce D_φ;
- Synchronized platforms: concurrent IV/phase-noise/imaging to validate hard links R ↔ ΔV_n and χ_ch ↔ λ_burst.
