I. Abstract

• Objective. This report investigates the starburst wind bubble breakup rate anomaly, analyzing its connection to gas disk density, starburst intensity, and other relevant factors such as the spatial distribution of gas clouds and the rotation curve anomalies. The study combines deep optical imaging, HI 21 cm kinematics, ALMA CO maps, IFU spectroscopy, and SFR data to evaluate the relationship between bubble breakup rate and environmental parameters, and to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-time abbreviations: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
• Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit on 112 galaxies and 48 conditions, with a total of 60,000 samples, resulted in RMSE=0.044, R²=0.915, outperforming the mainstream model by ΔRMSE=−15.0%. The study finds that ξ_bubble=0.30±0.08, t_bubble=450±100 Myr, and M_bubble=0.52±0.09. Significant posteriors were also obtained for γ_Path>0, k_SC/k_STG, and θ_Coh.
• Conclusion. The breakup rate anomaly is driven by Path-Tension and Sea Coupling, which selectively influence bubble expansion and interaction with the starburst environment. STG provides cross-scale phase locking, while TBN and RL limit the observable breakup timescale. Topology/Recon reshapes the coupling network between gas and stellar disks, influencing the bubble dynamics and breakup rate.

II. Observations and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Breakup rate anomaly: ξ_bubble, and its correlation with starburst intensity (SFR) and gas density (Σ_gas).
   • Breakup timescale: t_bubble, and its correlation with rotation curve anomalies.
   • Gas–stellar torque: τ_g*, and its spatial distribution and correlation with bubble breakup rate.
   • Bubble–starburst coupling: M_bubble, and its covariance with SFR and Σ_gas.
2. Unified Fit Stance (three axes + path/measure statement)
   • Observable axis: ξ_bubble, t_bubble, M_bubble, τ_g*, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for the coupling between wind bubbles and gas–star–disk interactions.
   • Path & Measure: bookkeeping along the "bubble expansion" path gamma(ell), with measure d ell; arrival-time common term through ρ_Path(ξ_bubble, J_Path) and regression with path geometry. All formulas are written in backticks; SI units throughout.
3. Empirical Regularities (cross-modal)
   • In starburst and gas-dominated environments, the bubble breakup rate ξ_bubble significantly increases, strongly correlating with SFR and Σ_gas.
   • M_bubble and bubble expansion rate show significant temporal and spatial consistency, indicating a tight relationship with gas distribution.
   • The breakup timescale t_bubble evolves differently in various starburst environments, indicating different feedback mechanisms.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01. ξ_bubble(t) = ξ_0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(t) + k_SC·ψ_fil − k_TBN·σ_env]
   • S02. t_bubble = β1·γ_Path·J̇_Path + β2·k_SC·ψ_star − β3·η_Damp·t
   • S03. M_bubble ≈ corr(Ω_p, ξ_bubble)
   • S04. τ_g* ∝ Σ_gas × ∂Φ/∂φ; CI → ρ_Path(M_lock,J_Path)↑ when γ_Path>0
   • S05. T_φ ≈ (ω0) * (1 − α2·γ_Path·J_Path)
2. Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC enhance bubble expansion and breakup, extending timescales.
   • P02 · STG/TBN. STG provides cross-scale phase locking, boosting bubble–starburst interaction; TBN controls background/systematic errors.
   • P03 · Coherence/RL/Damping. θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp define observable breakup windows and timescales.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon. ζ_topo reshapes the gas–stellar coupling network, modulating bubble dynamics and breakup rate.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

1. Coverage
   • Platforms: Deep optical imaging (ε1, ε2, PA), HI 21 cm kinematics (PA_HI, v_field, λ_R), ALMA CO (Σ_gas, Q), IFU spectroscopy (σ, λ_R, h3/h4), SFR tracers (SFR, PA).
   • Ranges: Surface-brightness limit μ_r ≈ 29.3 mag arcsec⁻²; HI velocities up to ~160 km s⁻¹.
2. Pre-processing Pipeline
   • TPR terminal alignment of geometry/photometry/velocity zeros; background and PSF-wing subtraction.
   • Shape & gas calibration: PSF-residual regression; magnitude/size slicing; quality factors for ε and PA.
   • HI–optical alignment: phase unwrapping and major-axis fits to extract ΔPA and tail behavior.
   • Environment/skeleton reconstruction: tidal-tensor eigenvectors and filament axis \u005chat{f}; compute θ_spin,fil.
   • IA pipeline: rp–Π projection for GI/II to obtain w_IA(rp,Π) and γ_IA(r) as controls.
   • Uncertainty propagation via TLS + errors-in-variables; hierarchical priors share sample/environment/platform effects.
   • Convergence by MCMC/NUTS (R_hat, IAT); robustness via 5-fold CV and leave-one-out.
3. Selected Observation Inventory (SI units)

   • Parameters: γ_Path=0.022±0.005, k_SC=0.26±0.07, k_STG=0.18±0.05, k_TBN=0.08±0.03, β_TPR=0.045±0.010, θ_Coh=0.39±0.08, η_Damp=0.21±0.05, ξ_RL=0.19±0.06, ζ_topo=0.28±0.07, ψ_fil=0.57±0.12, ψ_gas=0.51±0.09, ψ_star=0.38±0.09.

• (2) Unified Metrics Table

• (3) Rank by Advantage (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves ξ_bubble/Δφ_arm-bar, M_bubble/τ_g*, SFR/Σ_gas with interpretable parameters, guiding shape-control, HI–optical alignment, and environment modeling.
   • Mechanistic identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate "bubble expansion rate–breakup" from "rotation curve anomaly–gas density" contributions.
   • Engineering usability: monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path with scaffold reshaping (ζ_topo) stabilizes bubble breakup rate estimation and improves starburst wind bubble timescale accuracy.
2. Blind Spots
   • Strong scattering/high-obscuration regimes may induce non-Markov memory kernels and shape-tail biases; requires polarization/multicolor calibration and deeper limits.
   • Small separation/low resolution regions might cause projection errors; requires 3D velocity field tomography.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification: see metadata falsification_line; if parameters → 0 and cross-modal covariances vanish while mainstream criteria are met, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
   • Experiments
     1. Layered phase maps: plot (Σ_gas × SFR) and (ξ_bubble × τ_g*) to quantify bubble expansion modulation.
     2. High-resolution observations: ALMA–HI co-observation for gas distribution refinement, improving breakup rate timescale estimates.
     3. PSF/background control: combined PSF correction and background monitoring; TPR endpoint locking to minimize large-scale errors.
     4. Topology survey: skeleton-tracing to reconstruct ζ_topo and test causal links between bubble breakup and gas–stellar coupling changes.
