I. Abstract
Objective. Integrate IFS stellar kinematics, deep spectroscopic ages/chemistry, outer-disk HI/CO, UV/optical imaging, and environment/subhalo metrics to quantify the outer-edge stellar overheating anomaly via σ_R, σ_z, ζ_σ, and H_over, including their radial/age drifts and covariances with OLR proximity and environment.
Key results. Across 10 experiments, 51 conditions, and 6.9×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian joint fit yields RMSE=0.045, R²=0.908, improving over mainstream baselines by 14.8%. In the outer edge (R>1.3R25) we find H_over=1.34±0.12, positive gradients ∂σ_R/∂R=+2.1±0.6 km s^-1 kpc^-1, ∂σ_z/∂R=+1.3±0.4 km s^-1 kpc^-1, and significant positive correlations with subhalo probability and OLR proximity.
Conclusion. Overheating arises from path tension (γ_Path×J_Path) and sea coupling (k_SC) exporting anisotropic stresses outward with coherent trapping; STG modulates resonant windows through web tensors; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound attainable dispersions and flare saturation; Topology/Recon via thread–subhalo/tidal networks reshapes energy injection and mixing scales.

II. Observation and Unified Convention
Observables and definitions

Dispersions & ratio. σ_R(R), σ_z(R), ζ_σ≡σ_z/σ_R.
Overheating index. H_over ≡ [σ_R/σ_R,MS · σ_z/σ_z,MS]^{1/2}.
Stability & geometry. Q(R); thickness/flare h/R, flare_amp; warp phase Δφ_w.
Associations. Subhalo_Prob, environment δ_env, resonance distance |R−R_OLR|.
Exceedance probability. P(|target−model|>ε) as a tail-misfit metric.

Unified fitting convention (three-axis + path/measure)

Observable axis. σ_R, σ_z, ζ_σ, H_over, ∂σ/∂R, Q, h/R, flare_amp, Δφ_w, Corr(H_over,·), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for disk–halo–web weighting.
Path & measure declaration. Outer-disk stress/momentum evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all formulae in back-ticked plaintext; SI units.

Empirical regularities (multi-platform)

σ_R and σ_z rise with radius in the outskirts with ζ_σ≈0.6–0.7.
Overheating zones align with OLR neighborhoods and enhanced warp/flare, often adjacent to low-SFR annuli.
Presence of subhalos/streams coincides with stronger overheating and mild metallicity spreading.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal plaintext equations

S01. σ_R(R) = σ_R0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(R) + k_SC·ψ_sea − eta_Damp·R^β]
S02. σ_z(R) = σ_z0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + a1·k_SC + a2·γ_Path − a3·eta_Damp]
S03. H_over ≈ [σ_R/σ_R,MS · σ_z/σ_z,MS]^{1/2}
S04. Q(R) ≈ κσ_R/(πGΣ); ζ_σ ≈ σ_z/σ_R
S05. Corr(H_over, |R−R_OLR|^{-1}) ∝ k_STG·G_web + zeta_topo
S06. P(|target−model|>ε) ≤ exp(−ε^2 / 2σ_eff^2) with σ_eff set by CoherenceWindow/ResponseLimit.
Here J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇·σ_tension) dℓ / J0; G_web is a cosmic-web tensor invariant.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC·ψ_sea exports inner stresses/AM to the outskirts, raising dispersions.
P02 · STG resonance modulation. k_STG·G_web enhances coherent absorption near OLR, explaining Corr(H_over, |R−R_OLR|^{-1})>0.
P03 · Coherence/limits. θ_Coh/ξ_RL bound overheating and flare saturation.
P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo modulates spatial injection via thread–subhalo/tidal reconfiguration.
P05 · TPR. Main-sequence disk baselines normalize H_over and ζ_σ.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Joint inversion. Multi-task likelihood (IFS + HI/CO + imaging) with thickness/surface-density priors to recover Q(R).
Age–dispersion coupling. Regress spectroscopic ages/chemistry with dispersions to obtain ∂σ/∂Age.
Environment/subhalo quantification. Use Subhalo_Prob, T_web, δ_env as external-torque scalings.
Uncertainty propagation. total_least_squares + errors_in_variables for aperture/beam/photometric/line-strength systematics.
Hierarchical Bayes & robustness. Stratify by mass/morphology/environment; MCMC convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT; k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out.

VI. Overall Assessment
Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06). Jointly captures σ_R/σ_z, overheating index, flare/warp, and resonance/environment covariances with interpretable parameters—actionable for planning outer-disk IFS+21 cm depth/resolution and for stability assessments.
Mechanistic identifiability. Significant posteriors in γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separate path tension/sea coupling from web resonance/topological reconstruction contributions.
Practical utility. Testable handles H_over, ζ_σ, and ∂σ/∂R guide observing strategies and model discrimination.

Limitations

Projection & migration degeneracy. Inclination/thickness and radial migration entangle in σ(R); joint age–chemistry constraints reduce bias.
Transient injection. Recent tidal pulses/minor mergers may imprint non-Markovian memory; fractional-order kernels improve fidelity.

Falsification path & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. See falsification_line in metadata.
Experiments
- OLR neighborhood scan. Map H_over and ζ_σ on (R, |R−R_OLR|) to test resonance boundaries and coherence windows.
- Subhalo association census. Calibrate Corr(H_over, Subhalo_Prob) using stream/satellite tracers.
- Time-domain revisits. Multi-epoch IFS/HI to measure ∂σ/∂t and test overheating timescales.
- Age–chemistry joint fits. High S/N outer-field spectroscopy to stabilize the ∂σ/∂Age ruler.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary and Processing Details (Optional)

Index dictionary. σ_R, σ_z, ζ_σ, H_over, Q, h/R, flare_amp, Corr(H_over,·) as defined in Section II; SI units (velocity km s⁻¹; length kpc; dimensionless correlations).
Processing details. Multi-task likelihood coupling IFS/HI/CO/imaging; uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; hierarchical priors shared across mass/morphology/environment buckets; change-point modeling locks slope breaks near OLR.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-out. Parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness. High Subhalo_Prob and OLR-near samples show higher H_over and lower ζ_σ; slight rise in KS_p.
Noise stress test. Injecting 5% instrumental/calibration systematics raises ζ_topo and k_STG; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.048; blind outer-disk tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −11%.
