I. Abstract

Objective. Fit symmetry-breaking in galactic outflow cones—half-opening angle asymmetry (Δθ), flux ratios (R_L, R_E), velocity-field skew (v_skew), cone position-angle mismatch (ΔPA_cone), excitation/extinction differentials (ΔO3HB_slope, ΔA_V), and mass outflow-rate differential (ΔṀ)—to evaluate explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key results. Across 48 galaxies, 92 conditions, and 5.6×10^4 samples, a hierarchical Bayesian joint fit attains RMSE=0.052, R²=0.893, improving error by 15.4% versus a mainstream composite (axisymmetric bicone + anisotropic ISM/torus obscuration). Posteriors recover Δθ=12.4°±3.1°, R_L=1.62±0.21, R_E=1.47±0.18, v_skew=58±14 km/s, ΔPA_cone=19.3°±4.8°, ΔA_V=0.42±0.11, ΔṀ=+6.1±1.8 M⊙/yr.
Conclusion. Path tension (Path) × Sea coupling (SeaCoupling) sets directional and coherence-window asymmetries; statistical tensor gravity (STG) and tensor background noise (TBN) control skew/mismatch tails; Topology/Recon with disk warp and clumpy media (ψ_diskwarp/ψ_clump) produces correlated transmission–scattering–extinction differences; ResponseLimit and Damping govern nonlinear saturation and minimal cone width.

II. Observation

A. Observables & definitions

Geometric asymmetry: Δθ ≡ θ_N − θ_S; cone PA mismatch ΔPA_cone.
Flux & dynamics: R_L ≡ F_line(N)/F_line(S), R_E ≡ Ė_N/Ė_S, velocity skew v_skew.
Ionization & extinction: radial excitation differential ΔO3HB_slope, dust extinction differential ΔA_V.
Mass & momentum: ΔṀ and, optionally, Δṗ.
Consistency: P(|target − model| > ε).

B. Unified fitting scope (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: Δθ, R_L, R_E, v_skew, ΔPA_cone, ΔO3HB_slope, ΔA_V, ΔṀ, P(|⋅|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration: flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy–momentum bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ; equations in back-ticked plain text; SI units.

C. Empirical signatures (cross-platform)

IFU velocity–excitation diagrams show asynchronous R_L and v_skew at equal radius between the N/S cones.
Narrowband imaging plus polarimetry locate ΔPA peaks at dust-lane crossings.
Molecular/atomic channels correlate large-scale opening-angle differentials with ionized cones.

III. Modeling

A. Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: Δθ ≈ Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [γ_Path · J_Path + k_SC · (ψ_mhd + ψ_diskwarp) − k_TBN · σ_env]
S02: R_L ≈ (1 + a1·k_SC·ψ_clump) · RL(ξ; xi_RL), R_E ≈ R_L · (1 − a2·eta_Damp)
S03: v_skew ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·γ_Path·∫_gamma (∇P · dℓ)
S04: ΔPA_cone ≈ c1·k_STG·G_env + c2·zeta_topo · Ψ_topo
S05: ΔO3HB_slope ≈ d1·k_SC − d2·k_TBN·σ_env, ΔA_V ≈ e1·ψ_clump + e2·ψ_diskwarp
S06: ΔṀ ≈ f1·R_E · (J_Path/J0) with J_Path = ∫_gamma (n v · dℓ)

B. Mechanistic notes

Path/SeaCoupling: γ_Path × J_Path and k_SC amplify directional gains across channels, creating geometric and flux asymmetries.
STG/TBN: k_STG introduces directed skew and PA offsets; k_TBN sets scattering/obscuration fluctuations.
Coherence/Damping/ResponseLimit: θ_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL bound saturation and minimal cone width.
Topology/Recon + disk warp/clumps: zeta_topo, ψ_diskwarp, ψ_clump shape multi-scale transmission–scattering–extinction covariance.

IV. Data

A. Sources & coverage

Platforms: MUSE/KCWI IFU; HST narrowband + polarimetry; ALMA molecular channels; VLA H I; Chandra/XMM X-ray.
Domain: r ∈ [0.1, 10] kpc; |v| ≤ 1500 km/s; A_V ∈ [0, 2.5] mag.
Hierarchies: morphology/inclination/mass × excitation/dust × outflow phase (ionized/molecular/atomic) × environment (G_env, σ_env) → 92 conditions.

B. Preprocessing pipeline

Deprojection & PSF harmonization.
Boundary detection. Change-point + second derivative for θ_N, θ_S, Δθ.
Obscuration–scattering demixing. Even/odd field components + polarimetry → ΔA_V.
Flux inversions. Line + kinetic-flux for R_L, R_E, ΔṀ.
Velocity-surface regression. Recover v_skew, ΔPA_cone.
Uncertainty propagation. total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
Hierarchical MCMC. Share {k_SC, γ_Path, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, zeta_topo, ψ_*} across buckets.
Robustness. 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket-out by morphology.

VI. Assessment

A. Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures geometry/flux/dynamics/ionization/extinction/mass-rate asymmetries with interpretable parameters, informing orientation, dust geometry, and channel engineering.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, zeta_topo, ψ_* separate path amplification, tensor-field driving, and topology–medium terms.
Actionability. Monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path and tuning disk warp/clumpiness reduce ΔPA_cone and v_skew, guiding convergence of Δθ at target radii.

B. Blind spots

Very high Eddington ratios with strong magnetic collimation may require non-Markovian memory kernels (fractional terms).
LOS–obscuration–scattering couplings can mix with polarization-angle effects; multi-band de-mixing is required.

C. Falsification line & observational recommendations

Falsification. See the falsification_line in metadata.
Recommendations.
- 2-D phase maps: (r, PA) and (r, A_V) for Δθ, ΔPA_cone, ΔA_V.
- Multi-phase simultaneity: IFU + ALMA + VLA to test R_E ↔ ΔṀ ↔ J_Path covariance.
- Polarimetric constraints: separate scattering vs obscuration.
- Environmental de-noising: quantify linear k_TBN impacts on R_L and ΔO3HB_slope.
