I. Abstract

Objective. Using local-group and external-group dSph/dIrr samples, we jointly fit excess core formation in dwarf galaxies: core radius r_c, inner slope γ_in, core-excess factor F_core, Jeans/DF covariance (β_aniso–σ_LOS), rotation–dispersion coupling (v_rot/σ, κ_HI), NSC/GC alignment, and SFH burst strength P_burst, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results. Across 9 experiments, 51 conditions, and 6.1×10^4 samples, the hierarchical multitask fit attains RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.905, improving error by 14.9% versus a “feedback + tides/anisotropy” baseline. We find r_c = 0.82 ± 0.18 kpc, γ_in = −0.18 ± 0.07 (significantly flatter than a cusp), and F_core = 1.41 ± 0.16, with covariances involving β_aniso_0 = 0.18 ± 0.10, v_rot/σ = 0.42 ± 0.09, κ_HI = 0.21 ± 0.06, ρ(NSC, core) = 0.33 ± 0.08, and P_burst = 0.37 ± 0.09.
Conclusion. Path Tension (gamma_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) introduce long-path, achromatic, co-directed energy–momentum micro-bias among stars–gas–DM and the filamentary background, amplifying core formation in tandem with SFH bursts and rotation–dispersion coupling. Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) sets a preferred orientation at nuclear scales; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets a floor to core thickness; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound core amplitude; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) modulates NSC/GC–core coupling.

II. Observables and Unified Framing

Core structure. r_c (core radius), γ_in (inner slope).
Core excess. F_core ≡ (ρ_model/ρ_ΛCDM)|_{r≈r_c}.
Dynamical covariance. Joint posterior of β_aniso(R) and σ_LOS(R); rotation–dispersion metrics v_rot/σ, κ_HI.
Structural alignment. ρ(NSC, core) (NSC/GC alignment with the core).
SFH bursts. P_burst (burst-strength indicator).
Robustness. Post-normalization KS_p under S(R, μ, m, membership); violation mass P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified axes & path/measure declaration

Observable axis: r_c, γ_in, F_core, β_aniso, σ_LOS, v_rot/σ, κ_HI, ρ(NSC, core), P_burst, KS_p, P(|·|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient, weighting stars–gas–DM coupled to the filamentary background.
Path & measure. Energy/momentum transport accounted along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all equations are written in backticks (SI units).

Empirical regularities (cross-sample)

Many dSph/dIrr exhibit flattened cores within r ≲ 1 kpc (γ_in ≈ 0 or slightly positive) with F_core > 1.
v_rot/σ and κ_HI show weak, repeatable positive covariances with core amplitude.
Systems with NSC or compact GCs display ρ(NSC, core) covariant with F_core.
A stronger SFH burst history (P_burst) tracks larger F_core.

III. EFT Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: ρ(r<r_c) ≈ ρ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path · J_Path + k_SC · (psi_stars + psi_gas − psi_DM) − k_TBN · sigma_bg] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
S02: γ_in ≈ γ_ΛCDM + a1 · k_SC · psi_gas + a2 · gamma_Path − a3 · eta_Damp
S03: F_core ≈ 1 + b1 · (k_SC · psi_stars + gamma_Path · J_Path) + b2 · theta_Coh
S04: v_rot/σ ≈ c0 + c1 · k_SC · psi_gas − c2 · eta_Damp; κ_HI ≈ c3 · k_SC + c4 · gamma_Path
S05: ρ(NSC, core) ≈ d0 + d1 · zeta_topo + d2 · k_STG · G_env; P_burst ≈ e0 + e1 · theta_Coh − e2 · eta_Damp
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0; Φ_topo denotes core-region defect/ring reconstruction.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling accumulates energy–momentum in the core, reducing |γ_in| and increasing F_core.
P02 · STG sets a preferred orientation at nuclear scales, stabilizing NSC/GC–core alignment.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL control the duration and ceiling of core growth.
P04 · Topology/Recon alters NSC/GC coupling and the nuclear mass–momentum scaling.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths.
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves r_c/γ_in/F_core with β_aniso/σ_LOS, v_rot/σ/κ_HI, ρ(NSC, core), and P_burst, yielding physically interpretable parameters that inform core-strength evaluation, rotation–dispersion & gas-coupling models, and resolved-star observation design.
- Mechanism identifiability. Posteriors on gamma_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, beta_TPR, theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, psi_stars, psi_gas, psi_DM, zeta_topo separate long-path effects from feedback/tidal/selection systematics.
- Operational utility. Monitoring G_env/σ_bg/J_Path and tuning nuclear Recon/Topology stabilize estimates of r_c and γ_in, improving joint interpretation of NSC/GC alignment and SFH bursts.
Limitations.
- Anisotropy–mass degeneracy between β_aniso and the mass profile requires multi-line spectroscopy/high moments (h4) for mitigation.
- Inclination & pressure-support corrections are critical for low-rotation systems; unified pipelines are essential for v_rot/σ and κ_HI.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
- Falsification. If covariance among r_c/γ_in/F_core/β_aniso/v_rot/σ/κ_HI/ρ(NSC, core)/P_burst disappears while the mainstream “feedback + tides/anisotropy” baseline achieves ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1% globally, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
- Experiments.
  1. 2D phase maps: M_* × R maps of γ_in/F_core to disentangle mass vs. size effects.
  2. Resolved-stars + HI co-observations: same-field SFH with HI kinematics to test the P_burst—κ_HI—F_core triad.
  3. NSC/GC dynamics: precise NSC/GC orbits and core alignment to search for Φ_topo(zeta_topo) observables.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

Leave-one (galaxy/region) out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Systematics stress test: adding +3% inclination bias and +5% membership contamination raises beta_TPR and mildly psi_gas/psi_DM; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.048; blind-galaxy holdout maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
