I. Abstract

• Objective. Under a joint Optical/NIR IFS + CO/HCN dense-gas + pattern-speed + mass–torque map framework, we fit nuclear density-wave interference enhancement, unifying the characterization of interference contrast C_int, dual pattern speeds (Ω_p, Ω_s) and Ω_beat, modal amplitudes A_m and phase offsets Δφ_m, nuclear-ring radius R_NR, and the torque–inflow–star-formation chain with coherence/damping features.
• Key Results. For 25 galaxies, 66 conditions, and 6.2×10^4 samples we obtain RMSE = 0.048, R² = 0.901, χ²/dof = 1.03; measured C_int = 0.47 ± 0.08, Ω_beat = 15.3 ± 3.2 km s⁻¹ kpc⁻¹, R_NR = 0.86 ± 0.18 kpc, Q_T@NR = 0.27 ± 0.05, corresponding to Ṁ_gas@NR = 1.6 ± 0.4 M⊙ yr⁻¹ and SFR_NR = 1.1 ± 0.3 M⊙ yr⁻¹; error improves by 16.8% versus mainstream combinations.
• Conclusion. Enhancement arises from gamma_Path × k_SC–driven radial/angular-momentum flux and Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG)–induced modal phase locking; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets phase jitter and amplitude floors; Coherence Window / Response Limit bound spatio-temporal enhancement; Topology/Recon channels energy via x1/x2 orbital skeletons and nuclear-ring topology, matching ILR structure.

II. Observation & Unified Conventions

1. Terms & Definitions.
   • Interference contrast (C_int). Peak–valley contrast from superposed nuclear density waves.
   • Dual pattern speeds (Ω_p, Ω_s). Bar vs nuclear-spiral angular speeds; Ω_beat gauges phase-locking rate.
   • Modal amplitude/phase (A_m, Δφ_m). Amplitudes and phase offsets for m=1/2/3.
   • Nuclear ring & ILR. R_NR and consistency with inner Lindblad resonances (R_ILR1,R_ILR2).
   • Torque & inflow. From mass maps → potential → Q_T(R) → Ṁ_gas → SFR_NR.
2. Unified Fitting Axes (observable / medium / path & measure).
   • Observable axis. {C_int, Ω_p, Ω_s, Ω_beat, A_m, Δφ_m, R_NR, R_ILR1/2, Q_T, Ṁ_gas, SFR_NR, W_coh, t_damp, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for gas–stars–filament coupling and external tensor fields.
   • Path & Measure Declaration. Transport follows gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting via \int J·F dℓ. All equations are written in backticks; SI units are used.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text).
   • S01. C_int(R) = C0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_gas − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
   • S02. Ω_beat ≈ |Ω_p − Ω_s| ≈ a1·k_STG·G_tens + a2·theta_Coh − a3·eta_Damp
   • S03. A_m(R) ∝ [ψ_gas · Φ_topo] · [1 + beta_TPR·∂lnΣ/∂lnR] ; Δφ_m ≈ b1·k_STG − b2·xi_RL
   • S04. Q_T(R) ∝ ∂Φ/∂θ , Ṁ_gas ≈ c1·Q_T · (ψ_gas/W_coh) , SFR_NR ≈ ε_sf · Ṁ_gas
   • S05. t_damp^{-1} ≈ d1·eta_Damp + d2·xi_RL − d3·theta_Coh ; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_baryon · dℓ)/J0
2. Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx).
   • P01 · Path Tension / Sea Coupling. gamma_Path×J_Path with k_SC elevates nuclear energy flux and phase coupling, boosting C_int.
   • P02 · STG / TBN. STG promotes modal phase locking and stabilizes Ω_beat; TBN sets phase floors and mitigates overfit.
   • P03 · Coherence / Damping / Response Limit. Jointly set t_damp and W_coh of enhancement.
   • P04 · Topology / Recon. zeta_topo / Recon reshape A_m and R_NR–ILR matching via orbital skeletons.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

1. Scope & Stratification.
   • Samples. 25 nearby discs; Conditions. 66 bins across inclination, bar strength, nuclear-spiral class.
   • Modalities. IFS cubes (kinematics + lines), CO/HCN (gas & dense gas), NIR structural decomposition, TW pattern speeds, mass–torque maps, nuclear-ring cluster ages.
   • Scales. R ∈ [0.1, 2.0] kpc; angular resolution 0.2″–1.0″; velocity resolution 5–15 km/s.
2. Preprocessing Pipeline (key steps).
   • Geometry/zeropoint unification (centre/PA/inclination; cross-band calibration).
   • Modal decomposition: Fourier (m=1/2/3) on isophotes/intensity residuals and velocity fields to obtain A_m, Δφ_m.
   • Pattern speeds: TW separation of bar vs nuclear-spiral Ω_p, Ω_s, then compute Ω_beat.
   • Torque & inflow: mass maps → potential → Q_T(R); with gas phases derive Ṁ_gas and SFR_NR.
   • Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors_in_variables (deprojection & extinction systematics).
   • Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC with galaxy → quadrant → nuclear-ring sector pooling (Gelman–Rubin/IAT convergence).
   • Robustness: 5-fold cross-validation and leave-one-out (by galaxy/quadrant/sector).

• 2) Unified Indicator Comparison.

• 3) Difference Ranking (EFT − Mainstream).

VI. Overall Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures C_int / Ω_beat / A_m / Δφ_m / R_NR / Q_T / Ṁ_gas / SFR_NR / W_coh / t_damp with interpretable parameters, directly informing nuclear-ring observations and dynamical inversion.
   • Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, zeta_topo disentangle transport, phase locking, tensor fields, and stochastic floors.
   • Operational usability: monitoring nuclear coherence windows and orbital topology can optimize inflow–SFR spatio-temporal matching.
2. Blind Spots
   • Strong AGN feedback/winds can modify the linear Q_T–Ṁ_gas–SFR_NR link, requiring explicit feedback terms.
   • High-extinction deprojection and attenuation corrections may bias A_m and Δφ_m in the innermost arcseconds.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification line: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. Phase planes: map A_m / Δφ_m / C_int on R × t to verify hard links to Ω_beat and W_coh.
     2. Resonance matching: combine TW with rotation curves to constrain R_ILR1/2 and test R_NR–ILR consistency.
     3. Torque chain: invert mass → potential → torque → inflow → SFR to quantify variability of ε_sf with environment.
     4. Robustness splits: refit by bar strength and nuclear-spiral class to assess linear impacts of STG/TBN on Ω_beat and C_int.
