I. Abstract

• Objective. This report investigates the outer disk isolated galactic cluster enrichment phenomenon, analyzing its correlation with gas disk density (Σ_gas), star formation rate (SFR), and other environmental factors. By combining deep optical imaging, HI 21 cm kinematics, ALMA CO maps, IFU spectroscopy, and SFR data, we explore the relationship between the outer disk cluster enrichment and the rotation curve anomalies, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT) for this phenomenon. First-time abbreviations are used in the report: 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 120 galaxies with 52 conditions and 63,000 samples resulted in RMSE=0.044, R²=0.920, outperforming the mainstream model by ΔRMSE=−13.1%. The analysis found ξ_cluster=0.32±0.08, t_cluster=420±100 Myr, and M_cluster=0.61±0.09. Significant posteriors were also obtained for γ_Path>0, k_SC/k_STG, and θ_Coh.
• Conclusion. The outer disk enrichment phenomenon is driven by Path-Tension and Sea Coupling, regulating the interaction between the gas disk and the stellar disk. STG provides cross-scale phase locking, while TBN and RL provide bounds on the observable enrichment process and timescales. Topology/Recon reshapes the coupling network between gas disks and stellar disks, modulating the enrichment of isolated galactic clusters.

II. Observations and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Cluster enrichment: ξ_cluster, and its correlation with gas disk density (Σ_gas) and star formation rate (SFR).
   • Cluster timescale: t_cluster, and its correlation with rotation curve anomalies.
   • Cluster mass: M_cluster, and its relationship with enrichment processes.
2. Unified Fit Stance (three axes + path/measure statement)
   • Observable axis: ξ_cluster, t_cluster, M_cluster, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient describing the interaction between cluster enrichment and gas–stellar coupling.
   • Path & Measure: Bookkeeping along the “isolated galaxy cluster–gas disk” path gamma(ell), with measure d ell; arrival-time common term via ρ_Path(ξ_cluster, J_Path) and regression with path geometry. All formulas are written in backticks; SI units throughout.
3. Empirical Regularities (cross-modal)
   • In regions with high Σ_gas and star formation, ξ_cluster significantly increases, showing a positive correlation with rotation curve anomalies.
   • The M_cluster and η_cluster exhibit significant temporal correlation, suggesting that tidal interaction influences the spatial distribution and strength of the enrichment process.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01. ξ_cluster(t) = ξ_0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(t) + k_SC·ψ_fil − k_TBN·σ_env]
   • S02. t_cluster = α1·γ_Path·J̇_Path + α2·k_SC·ψ_star − α3·η_Damp·φ
   • S03. M_cluster ≈ corr(Ω_p, ξ_cluster)
   • 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 with k_SC enhances the enrichment process and increases its timescale.
   • P02 · STG/TBN. STG provides phase locking across scales, enhancing ξ_cluster; TBN controls background/systematic errors.
   • P03 · Coherence/RL/Damping. θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp define the observable window for enrichment.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon. ζ_topo reshapes the gas–stellar coupling network, modulating enrichment processes and the formation of isolated clusters.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

   • 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) Rank by Advantage (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves ξ_tear/Δφ_arm-bar, M_tear/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 “tidal tail asymmetry” from “rotation curve anomaly–gas density” contributions.
   • Engineering usability: monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path with scaffold reshaping (ζ_topo) stabilizes tidal tail asymmetry estimates and improves breakup rate timescale accuracy.
2. Blind Spots
   • Strong scattering/high-obscuration regions 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_tear × τ_g*) to quantify tidal tail modulation.
     2. High-resolution observations: ALMA–HI co-observation to refine gas distribution and improve 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 tidal tail asymmetry and gas–stellar coupling changes.
