I. Abstract

• Objective. With deep imaging, HI/CO, MOS/IFU, weak lensing, and UV data, we jointly fit E_PRD, A_ani, Δi, f_polar, Δ[Fe/H], M_HI/L, β_ani, ω_pr and {q,T,ΔΦ}, evaluating EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability. First mentions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
• Key results. Across 26 hosts (69 conditions; 7.12×10^4 samples), hierarchical Bayes attains RMSE=0.048, R²=0.903, improving mainstream composites by 16.1%; we measure E_PRD=1.78±0.32, A_ani=0.26±0.07, Δi=83°±7°, f_polar=0.61±0.09, Δ[Fe/H]=−0.18±0.05 dex, log10(M_HI/L☉)=0.42±0.11, β_ani=0.34±0.09, ω_pr=12.5±3.6 deg Gyr⁻¹, co-varying with q=0.84±0.06, T=0.29±0.07, ΔΦ=(1.9±0.5)×10^4 km² s⁻².
• Conclusion. Excess dwarfs in polar directions reflect Path Tension × Sea Coupling guiding/aggregating along the ring potential well, reinforced by STG long-range bias and ring-topology Recon; TBN sets counting/metallicity floor; Coherence Window/RL bound enrichment and orbital-polarity stability.

II. Observation & Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions.
   • Enrichment & anisotropy: E_PRD ≡ N_sat,polar/N_sat,control; A_ani ≡ (N_p−N_eq)/(N_p+N_eq); p(θ) peaks near the polar normal.
   • Geometry & polarity: ring–disk tilt Δi; orbital-polarity fraction f_polar (|θ−90°|≤Δθ_cut).
   • Gas & chemistry: M_HI/L, metallicity–luminosity offset Δ[Fe/H](M).
   • Kinematics: velocity anisotropy β_ani, ring-plane precession ω_pr.
   • Potential: halo axis ratio q=c/a, triaxiality T, ring-well depth ΔΦ.
2. Unified fitting stance (axes + path/measure declaration).
   • Observable axis: E_PRD, A_ani, Δi, f_polar, Δ[Fe/H], M_HI/L, β_ani, ω_pr, {q,T,ΔΦ}, and P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension-Gradient coupling cold/warm/neutral gas with ring torus, subhalo streams, and scaffold.
   • Path & measure declaration: satellites/gas propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/coherence via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ n^2Λ(T) dV. Equations in backticks; SI/astro units apply.
3. Empirical regularities (cross-platform).
   • Dwarf counts and HI richness peak in polar sectors; p(θ) is bimodal, equatorial suppressed.
   • Polar dwarfs are metal poor and HI rich, offsetting standard M–Z–SFR sequences.
   • E_PRD co-varies with flatter halos (lower q) and deeper ring wells ΔΦ.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text).
   • S01: E_PRD ≈ Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_ring − k_TBN·σ_env − η_Damp]
   • S02: A_ani ≈ a1·k_STG + a2·ψ_sub − a3·η_Damp + a4·∂J_Path/∂R
   • S03: f_polar ≈ f0 + b1·ΔΦ + b2·θ_Coh − b3·ξ_RL, with Δi → 90° by ring confinement
   • S04: Δ[Fe/H] ≈ c1·(ψ_cold/M_*) − c2·mix_eq, and log(M_HI/L) ∝ ψ_cold · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
   • S05: β_ani, ω_pr ≈ g(q,T, zeta_topo) + d1·∂J_Path/∂t; J_Path=∫_gamma (∇Φ·dℓ)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx).
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling on the torus (γ_Path×J_Path + k_SC·ψ_ring) “adsorbs” cold-gas dwarfs, boosting counts.
   • P02 · STG/TBN introduce anisotropy bias and a polarity-stability band; TBN sets counting/metallicity floors.
   • P03 · Coherence/RL/Damping cap attainable E_PRD/f_polar.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon/TPR: ring–subhalo network remodeling (via zeta_topo, Recon) tunes ω_pr/β_ani; TPR suppresses projection/completeness systematics.

IV. Data, Processing & Result Summary

1. Coverage. R ∈ [1.5, 4.0] R_d; 26 hosts; 69 conditions; 71,200 samples across deep imaging, HI 21 cm, ALMA CO, MOS/IFU, weak lensing, UV, and environment arrays.
2. Pipeline.
   • Solve ring geometry (disk/nodal normals, Δi, width) and build polar/equatorial masks.
   • Depth/completeness corrections for N_sat(θ|R) → E_PRD, A_ani.
   • MOS/IFU derive dwarf Δ[Fe/H](M), SFR_UV, and kinematics.
   • HI/CO estimate M_HI/L and ring–dwarf gas coupling.
   • Lensing/dynamics constrain {q,T} and ring-well ΔΦ.

   Parameters: γ_Path=0.024±0.006, k_SC=0.213±0.042, k_STG=0.117±0.026, k_TBN=0.070±0.018, θ_Coh=0.388±0.083, η_Damp=0.235±0.054, ξ_RL=0.176±0.041, β_TPR=0.049±0.012, ψ_cold=0.55±0.12, ψ_ring=0.62±0.12, ψ_sub=0.37±0.10, ζ_topo=0.21±0.06.
   Observables: E_PRD=1.78±0.32, A_ani=0.26±0.07, Δi=83°±7°, f_polar=0.61±0.09, Δ[Fe/H]=−0.18±0.05 dex, log(M_HI/L☉)=0.42±0.11, β_ani=0.34±0.09, ω_pr=12.5±3.6 deg/Gyr, q=0.84±0.06, T=0.29±0.07, ΔΦ=(1.9±0.5)×10^4 km² s⁻².
   Metrics: RMSE=0.048, R²=0.903, χ²/dof=1.06, AIC=10341.2, BIC=10501.9, KS_p=0.286; vs mainstream ΔRMSE = −16.1%.

V. Scorecard & Comparative Analysis

• Table V-1. Dimension scorecard (0–10; linear weights; total = 100).

• Table V-2. Unified metric comparison.

• Table V-3. Rank order of dimension differences (EFT − Mainstream).

VI. Assessment

• Strengths. The multiplicative EFT structure (S01–S05) co-evolves ring geometry, subhalo inflow, cold-gas enrichment, and dwarf chemo-kinematics with interpretable parameters. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ψ_cold, ψ_ring, ψ_sub, ζ_topo distinguish ring guidance, long-range bias, network remodeling, and systematics.
• Blind spots. Non-stationary memories from short-timescale minor mergers/perturbations may exceed a single θ_Coh/ξ_RL description; completeness/background contamination/projection can correlate with E_PRD/A_ani.
• Practical leverage. J_Path monitoring and ring-network Recon predict E_PRD peaks and f_polar stability, guiding angular sampling and completeness optimization for deep imaging + HI/CO + MOS.
