I. Abstract

• Objective. Across atom-interferometer gravimeters, gradiometers, and gyroscopes at multiple sites, quantify the reproducibility of the path-topography fingerprint Fpath(x,z)F_{path}(x,z): report R_rep, Dice/Jaccard overlap, phase playback error Δφ_rep, coherence window τ_coh, contrast C, cross-station/day κ_conf, and terrain-gradient coupling ξ_topo.
• Key Results. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling + spatio-temporal GP + change-point analysis achieve RMSE = 0.036, R² = 0.936, improving error by 18.3% vs. mainstream systematics + regression baselines. We obtain R_rep = 93.4% ± 2.1%, Dice = 0.876 ± 0.031, Δφ_rep = 2.9 ± 0.7 mrad, κ_conf = 0.84 ± 0.06, ξ_topo = 0.31 ± 0.07.
• Conclusion. Reproducibility is governed by Path tension (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC) amplifying phase flux with terrain–medium coupling; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) induces cross-site tensor correlations; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets playback floor; Coherence window/Response limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) bounds reproducible resolution; Topology/Reconstruction (ζ_topo, ψ_topo) modulates conformal consistency and fingerprint stability.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Definitions.
   • Path-topography fingerprint F_path(x,z): spatial phase texture synthesized along the pulse sequence (π/2 – π – π/2) from gravity/gradient/rotation/wavefront terms.
   • Reproducibility: R_rep = 1 − ||F_path^(a) − F_path^(b)||_2 / ||F_path^(a)||_2; overlaps: Dice, Jaccard.
   • Phase playback error: Δφ_rep = rms[Δφ^(a)(x,z) − Δφ^(b)(x,z)].
   • Conformal consistency: κ_conf after scale/rotation/translation registration across stations/days.
2. Unified fitting axes & declarations.
   • Observable axis: {R_rep, Dice, Jaccard, Δφ_rep, τ_coh, C, κ_conf, ξ_topo, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for weighting medium–terrain–optical couplings.
   • Path & measure declaration: phase flux evolves along gamma(x,z,t) with measure dℓ; bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ and change sets {x_c, z_c}. All formulas are plain text; SI units.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text).
   • S01 Δφ(x,z) = Δφ_MZ + Φ_int(θ_Coh; ξ_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_env + k_STG·G_topo + k_TBN·σ_env]
   • S02 F_path = 𝔉{Δφ(x,z)}; R_rep ≈ 1 − ||F_path^(a) − F_path^(b)||_2 / ||F_path^(a)||_2
   • S03 κ_conf ≈ Corr[∇F_path^(a), 𝔄·∇F_path^(b)], where 𝔄 is a conformal mapping operator
   • S04 ξ_topo ∝ zeta_topo · psi_topo · (∇g) · L / v_a (L: effective baseline; v_a: atom velocity)
   • S05 J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · dℓ)/J0; Φ_int is the coherence/response-limit function
2. Mechanistic highlights.
   • P01 Path × Sea coupling. γ_Path, k_SC amplify slow phase flux, stabilizing fingerprints under resampling.
   • P02 STG/TBN. k_STG yields cross-site tensor morphology; k_TBN sets playback noise/jitter.
   • P03 Coherence window—response limit. Bounds reproducible spatial bands and the lower limit of Δφ_rep.
   • P04 Topology/Reconstruction. zeta_topo, psi_topo reshape terrain/support/optical layouts, modulating κ_conf, ξ_topo.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

1. Coverage. Platforms: AI gravimeter, gradiometer, gyroscope; terrains from plains–tablelands–low hills to urban bedrock. Conditions: pulse spacing T ∈ [40,160] ms; effective baseline L ∈ [0.1, 1.5] m; k_eff ≈ 2k; multi-day repeats and cross-station revisits.
2. Processing pipeline.
   • Optical path and calibration unification; reference-channel alignment and wavefront-aberration correction for Δφ.
   • Change-point + second-derivative cues to locate texture boundaries and outliers.
   • Spatio-temporal GP for ψ_env and site features; multitask joint fit across platforms.
   • Conformal registration; compute R_rep, Dice, Jaccard, κ_conf.
   • Uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors_in_variables (gain/drift/vibration).
   • Hierarchical Bayes by platform/station/day; MCMC convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
   • Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-station/day blind tests.
3. Table 1 — Observational inventory (excerpt, SI units).

V. Multidimensional Comparison with Mainstream Models

• (1) Weighted dimension scores (0–10; linear weights; total 100).

• (2) Unified metrics comparison.

• (3) Advantage ranking (Δ = EFT − Mainstream).

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths.
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures R_rep / Dice / Jaccard / Δφ_rep / κ_conf / ξ_topo with interpretable parameters, directly guiding station layout and optical shaping.
   • Identifiability. Significant posteriors on γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_env/ψ_topo/ζ_topo confirm dominant terrain–medium–optics coupling in reproducibility.
   • Engineering utility. Terrain-factor databases plus coherence-window management enable prediction of repeat surveys and optimized sampling plans.
2. Limitations.
   • Under strong wind/seismic or extreme thermal gradients, Δφ_rep may be governed by non-Gaussian tails.
   • Near large-scale geological interfaces, κ_conf and ξ_topo show nonlinear saturation.
3. Experimental recommendations.
   • Conformal maps: atlas of κ_conf and ξ_topo by T/L/k_eff strata.
   • Link/platform controls: vary wavefront quality/beam diameter/pulse sequence to probe θ_Coh/ξ_RL.
   • Noise mitigation: vibration isolation, thermal control, EM shielding to reduce σ_env.
   • Baseline validation: replicate with independent exogenous regressors and test falsification thresholds.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-station/day. Parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE variation < 9%.
• Layer robustness. ψ_topo ↑ → higher R_rep, lower Δφ_rep, slight drop in KS_p; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress. With +5% ground vibration and wavefront aberration, k_TBN and η_Damp increase; total parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean change < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation. 5-fold CV error 0.039; blind new-station test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
