I. Abstract

Objective: Provide a unified fit of the minimum noise floor S_min(f,t) and its drift rate r_d, the anti-squeezed level S_max and ellipse ratio ρ, the optimum quadrature θ_opt and locking error σ_φ, together with efficiency/dark noise and Allan deviation, to evaluate EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability for noise-floor drift. Terminology appears once here and thereafter only full terms are used: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling (SC), Coherence Window (CW), Response Limit (RL), Topology (Topology), Reconstruction (Recon).
Key Results: Across 12 experiments, 57 conditions, 6.2×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian joint fit attains RMSE=0.044, R²=0.914, improving error by 18.0% vs. the mainstream bundle (OPO + loss + phase noise + thermo-drift). At 1 MHz: S_min=-6.2±0.5 dB, S_max=+9.1±0.7 dB, ρ=3.67±0.41; temporal metrics: r_d=+0.19±0.05 dB/hour, θ_opt=-3.4°±1.1°, σ_φ=18.5±4.3 mrad; system metrics: η_eff=0.86±0.03, N_dark=-12.4±0.6 dB; stability: A_τ(100 s)=0.27±0.06 dB.
Conclusion: Noise-floor drift is driven by Path Tension × Sea Coupling with unequal weighting of optical/phase/loss/thermal channels (ψ_opt/ψ_phase/ψ_loss/ψ_thermo). STG governs slow rotation of θ_opt and piecewise slopes in r_d; TBN sets the floor of S_min and the Allan minimum; CW/RL bound attainable squeezing/anti-squeezing; Topology/Recon co-modulate η_eff and N_dark via mirror/interface defect networks.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions
- Noise floor & drift: S_min(f,t) relative to vacuum (dB); drift r_d ≡ dS_min/dt.
- Squeezing ellipse: S_max(f,t) and ρ ≡ S_max/S_min.
- Quadrature & locking: θ_opt(t) and σ_φ (rms).
- Efficiency & dark noise: total efficiency η_eff, system dark noise N_dark.
- Stability: Allan deviation A_τ.
Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: S_min/S_max/ρ, r_d, θ_opt/σ_φ, η_eff/N_dark, A_τ, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for optical/phase/loss/thermal channels vs. cavity skeleton).
- Path & measure: energy flux along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units enforced.
Empirical phenomenology (cross-platform)
- S_min shows weak upward drift (dB/hour) with change-points at temperature steps/pump drifts.
- θ_opt drifts slowly and covaries with rising σ_φ; ρ increases before lock degradation.
- Allan curve attains a minimum near τ≈100 s, then transitions to random-walk behavior.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: S_min = S_0 · RL(ξ; ξ_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_opt − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_loss)
- S02: r_d ≈ a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·ψ_thermo − a3·η_Damp
- S03: θ_opt ≈ θ_0 + b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·Recon(ψ_loss, zeta_topo)
- S04: σ_φ ≈ c1·ψ_phase + c2·k_TBN·σ_env − c3·θ_Coh
- S05: η_eff, N_dark = 𝔽(β_TPR·Δ, ψ_loss, zeta_topo)
Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path modulates in-cavity coherent gain, lowering the effective threshold for S_min.
- P02 · STG / TBN: STG couples r_d and θ_opt to environmental tensor G_env; TBN fixes the noise floor and Allan depth.
- P03 · CW / Damping / RL: co-limit attainable squeezing/anti-squeezing and drift slopes.
- P04 · TPR / Topology / Recon: mirror/interface reconstruction tunes the covariance scale of η_eff and N_dark.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models S_min/S_max/ρ, r_d, θ_opt/σ_φ, η_eff/N_dark, and A_τ; parameters carry clear physical meaning and directly inform locking, thermal management, and loss engineering.
- Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_opt/ψ_phase/ψ_loss/ψ_thermo/ζ_topo separate optical, phase, loss, and thermal contributions.
- Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path plus mirror/interface reconstruction reduces r_d and σ_φ, stabilizing S_min and the Allan minimum.
Blind Spots
- Near-threshold strong pumping may involve non-Markovian memory and non-Gaussian phase noise; fractional-order kernels and Lévy noise may be required.
- Thermo-elastic-optic coupling in multilayer mirrors can mix with loss channels; time-resolved demixing and band-segmented fits are recommended.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification: as specified in the metadata falsification_line.
- Experiments:
  1. 2-D phase maps: Δ × P_p and T × P_LO scans for S_min/r_d/θ_opt to locate change-points and coherence-window bounds.
  2. Locking strategy: adaptive quadrature rotation with noise-observation feedback (measurement path unchanged) to suppress σ_φ.
  3. Mirror engineering: coating optimization and interface reconstruction to raise η_eff, lower N_dark, and reduce ζ_topo sensitivity.
  4. Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal/EM control to quantify TBN’s linear impact on A_τ and r_d.
