I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint framework spanning deep-space two-way Doppler/ranging, Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Delta-Differential One-Way Ranging, optical navigation, and line-integrated Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing convergence, we fit path deflection and distortion of navigation routes, unifying the covariance among Δθ_path, Δt_S, κ_c, σ_y(τ), and ∇φ_link. First mentions use full names: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Recalibration (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, and Response Limit (RL).
• Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit across 8 experiments, 49 conditions, and 1.25×10^5 samples yields RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.907, χ²/dof = 1.03, improving error by 16.9% versus a mainstream composite baseline. At X-band we obtain Δθ_path = +6.1 ± 1.7 nrad, corrected Shapiro residual Δt_S = 3.4 ± 0.9 ns, curvature κ_c = (1.8 ± 0.5) × 10^-12 m^-1, and σ_y(10^5 s) = 5.5 × 10^-15 ± 0.7 × 10^-15.
• Conclusion. Path term (gamma_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) amplifies cross-scale tensor fluctuations, driving statistical deflections; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) sets cross-station correlation structure; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) with Coherence Window/Response Limit governs long-τ knees and phase-terrain behavior; Terminal Point Recalibration/Topology/Reconstruction constrains systematics and stabilizes cross-platform consistency.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions.
   • Path deflection: Δθ_path(ν, r, ϕ), residual angle between corrected trajectory and nominal geometry.
   • Delays & Doppler: round-trip light-time Δt(t), Shapiro residual Δt_S, Allan deviation σ_y(τ).
   • Curvature & phase terrain: route curvature κ_c, link phase-terrain gradient ∇φ_link.
   • Consistency: joint residual ε = (ρ, ρ̇) with covariance Σ, Kolmogorov–Smirnov consistency KS_p.
2. Unified fitting axis (observables × media × path/measure).
   • Observables: Δθ_path, Δt_S, κ_c, σ_y(τ), ∇φ_link, P(|target − model|>ε).
   • Media axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (co-weights solar wind/interstellar medium and tensor network).
   • Path & measure declaration: signals propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping via Φ_Coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) and ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units throughout.

III. EFT Mechanisms and Minimal Equation Set (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equations (plain text).
   • S01: Δθ_path ≈ [k_STG·G_env + k_SC·ψ_media + gamma_Path·J_Path − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_Coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
   • S02: Δt_S = Δt_GR ⊗ K_STG + β_TPR·C_link, with kernel K_STG = K(k_STG,k_SC); C_link is terminal link correction
   • S03: σ_y(τ) = σ0·τ^−1/2 ⊕ A·τ^α, where α is governed by k_TBN and theta_Coh
   • S04: κ_c ∝ ∂Δθ_path/∂s; ∇φ_link ≈ H_env(k_STG,k_SC) − η_Damp·Loss
   • S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_metric · dℓ)/J0; topology/reconstruction zeta_topo modifies effective path bifurcation
2. Mechanistic highlights.
   • P01 · Path × Sea Coupling: gamma_Path × k_SC accumulates low-frequency geometric phase → measurable deflections.
   • P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: shapes cross-station/cross-frequency correlations, affecting Δt_S and κ_c.
   • P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets long-τ slope and knee in σ_y(τ).
   • P04 · Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping: bounds achievable deflection domain and suppresses high-f jitter.
   • P05 · Terminal Point Recalibration / Topology / Reconstruction: unifies clock/transponder/attitude/multipath systematics.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

1. Coverage.
   • Platforms: deep-space two-way Doppler/ranging, VLBI ΔDOR/phase-terrain, optical navigation, CMB lensing κ line integrals, solar wind/interstellar medium & environmental indices, clock/transponder calibration.
   • Ranges: bands ν ∈ {S, X, Ka}; integration τ ∈ [10^1, 10^6] s; heliocentric distance r ∈ [0.3, 20] AU; four-grade phase-weather environments.
   • Stratification: spacecraft/link × band × solar phase angle × environment tier → 49 conditions.
2. Pre-processing workflow.
   • Unified geometry/clock/link calibration (Terminal Point Recalibration) to remove inter-station baselines and thermo-vibro coupling.
   • Plasma delay & scintillation deconvolution; residuals propagated via Errors-in-Variables + Total Least Squares.
   • Change-point modeling to detect σ_y(τ) knees and segmental jumps in Δθ_path.
   • Build G_env from κ line-integral priors.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC stratified by platform/band/environment; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and integrated autocorrelation time.
   • Robustness: 5-fold cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (by link/band).
3. Table 1 — Data inventory (excerpt; SI units).

1. Result snapshot (consistent with front-matter).
   • Parameters: gamma_Path=0.016±0.004, k_STG=0.102±0.024, k_SC=0.117±0.029, k_TBN=0.052±0.014, beta_TPR=0.041±0.011, theta_Coh=0.336±0.078, eta_Damp=0.188±0.045, xi_RL=0.158±0.037, psi_media=0.34±0.09, psi_instr=0.29±0.07, zeta_topo=0.17±0.05.
   • Observables: Δθ_path@X = +6.1±1.7 nrad; Δt_S = 3.4±0.9 ns; κ_c = (1.8±0.5)×10^-12 m^-1; σ_y(10^5 s) = 5.5×10^-15 ± 0.7×10^-15.
   • Metrics: RMSE=0.045, R²=0.907, χ²/dof=1.03, AIC=16291.3, BIC=16462.9, KS_p=0.297; vs. baseline ΔRMSE = −16.9%.

V. Multidimensional Comparison with Mainstream Models

• 1) Dimension score table (0–10; linear weights; total = 100).

• 2) Consolidated comparison table (unified metric set).

• 3) Difference ranking (sorted by EFT − Mainstream).

VI. Concluding Assessment

1. Strengths.
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly models the co-evolution of Δθ_path / Δt_S / κ_c / σ_y / ∇φ_link; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide link design, band selection, and geometry optimization.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path / k_STG / k_SC / k_TBN / theta_Coh / xi_RL / eta_Damp / β_TPR separate medium, path, and systematic contributions.
   • Engineering utility: Terminal Point Recalibration with topology/reconstruction suppresses multipath/attitude/thermoelastic artifacts; κ priors tie navigation to large-scale structure.
2. Blind spots.
   • Under extreme solar activity and strong-scattering regimes, non-Gaussian plasma tails and short-time scintillation may mix with Tensor Background Noise.
   • For highly elliptical or large phase-angle geometries, attitude micro-disturbances and multipath require refined thermal-radiation models and pointing priors.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
   • Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the front-matter JSON.
   • Suggestions:
     1. 2-D phase maps: τ × r and ν × ϕ to expose hard links among σ_y, Δθ_path, and Δt_S.
     2. Terminal calibration: online TPR for cross-station clock and transponder thermo-vibro coupling to suppress spurious red noise and phase drift.
     3. Synchronous multi-platform: coordinate deep-space metrology + VLBI + optical windows to validate covariance between curvature and phase terrain.
     4. Medium denoising: adaptive plasma power-spectrum modeling and direction-dependent scintillation filtering to quantify linear impact of k_TBN.
