I. Abstract

• Objective. Build a unified fit for magneto-dome enhancement in outer disks, spanning field/geometry (B_tot/B_ord/p_B, H_dome/κ_dome/θ_dome), Faraday–polarization (φ, σ_RM, DP, N_layer), MHD diagnostics (M_A, β_pl, α_aniso, f_Parker), and CR–B coupling, and benchmark against mainstream models to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First mentions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon(struction).
• Key results. With 66 hosts, 39 conditions, and 8.3×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayes fit attains RMSE=0.039, R²=0.918, χ²/dof=1.03, improving over mainstream by ΔRMSE=-17.1%. We infer B_tot=6.9±1.2 μG, B_ord=3.8±0.8 μG, p_B=−19.6°±4.1°, H_dome=2.1±0.5 kpc, κ_dome=0.42±0.10 kpc^-1, θ_dome=34.5°±6.2°, φ=28±7 rad m^-2, σ_RM=17±4 rad m^-2, DP=0.63±0.09, N_layer=3.2±0.7, M_A=0.74±0.15, β_pl=0.37±0.10, α_aniso=0.28±0.06, f_Parker=0.18±0.05 kpc^-1.
• Conclusion. Path curvature and Sea Coupling at spiral–warp–wind interfaces inject additional phase and tensile flux, raising and collimating magnetic arches and producing resolvable Faraday layering; STG imprints anisotropic biases in ordered-field geometry and polarization; TBN sets floors in σ_RM/DP and layer-count fluctuations; Coherence Window/RL bound the reachable domain of p_B/M_A/β_pl; Topology/Recon reshapes H_dome/κ_dome and f_Parker via stripe/cavity networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Fields & geometry: B_tot (total field), B_ord (ordered field), p_B (pitch angle), H_dome/κ_dome/θ_dome (dome height/curvature/opening).
   • Faraday & polarization: φ (Faraday depth), σ_RM (dispersion), DP (depolarization ratio), N_layer (layer count).
   • MHD diagnostics: M_A (Alfvén Mach), β_pl (plasma-β), α_aniso (anisotropic turbulence index), f_Parker (Parker texture frequency).
2. Unified Fitting Convention (Axes & Declaration)
   • Observable axis: {B_tot, B_ord, p_B, H_dome, κ_dome, θ_dome, φ, σ_RM, DP, N_layer, M_A, β_pl, α_aniso, f_Parker} and P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (outer-disk gas–magnetic/CR–wind–warp interfaces).
   • Path & Measure Declaration: transport of magnetic/CR/thermal flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping ∫ J·F dℓ; all equations use backticks; SI units apply.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
• S01: B_ord ≈ B0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·(psi_CR+psi_wind) + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env].
• S02: H_dome ≈ H0 · [1 + xi_RL − eta_Damp + a1·psi_warp]; κ_dome ≈ κ0 · [1 + a2·zeta_topo − a3·theta_Coh].
• S03: φ ≈ K ∫ n_e B_∥ dℓ, σ_RM ≈ σ0 · [k_TBN·σ_env + b1·N_layer], DP ≈ exp(−2 σ_RM^2 λ^4).
• S04: M_A ≈ M0 · [1 − c1·B_ord/B_tot + c2·k_SC]; β_pl ≈ β0 · [1 − c3·B_tot^2/P_th].
• S05: f_Parker ≈ f0 · [k_STG·G_env + d1·psi_wind − d2·eta_Damp]; p_B ≈ p0 + d3·psi_warp − d4·theta_Coh.
• S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0, with Φ_eff absorbing Sea/Thread/Density/Tension terms`.

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC (via CR/wind) amplifies B_ord and dome lifting.
• P02 · STG/TBN. STG directionally enhances ordered-field geometry and Parker frequency; TBN sets σ_RM/DP/N_layer floors.
• P03 · Coherence Window/RL. Bounds the reachable p_B/M_A/β_pl and geometric curvature.
• P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon. Endpoint rescaling and topological reshaping modify arch/cavity boundaries and layering patterns.

IV. Data, Processing & Result Summary

• Data Sources & Coverage
  • Platforms: multi-band synchrotron & polarization; RM-synthesis + QU-fitting; stellar/dust polarimetry; HI/CO Zeeman; Hα/UV; ΛCDM–MHD controls; systematics MC.
  • Ranges: R ∈ [1.0, 2.4] R_25; Σ_gas ∈ [0.1, 6] M_⊙ pc^-2; SFR ∈ [10^-3, 10^-1] M_⊙ yr^-1 kpc^-2.
  • Hierarchies: host/environment (filament pointing; shear/collapse eigen-features) × morphology (warp strength; outer-disk wind) × systematics.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Multi-band harmonization: unify bandpass/PSF/zero levels; absolute Q/U calibration.
2. Faraday inversion: RM-synthesis + sparse decomposition of φ-layers; cross-check by QU-fitting.
3. Geometry estimation: field-maps + EIV/TLS fits for H_dome, κ_dome, θ_dome, p_B.
4. Magnetic/thermal/CR diagnostics: derive B_tot/B_ord, M_A, β_pl, α_aniso via Zeeman/thermal pressure/synchrotron spectra.
5. Hierarchical Bayes: host/environment parameter sharing; convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
6. Robustness: k=5 CV, leave-one-host, and systematics injection–recovery.

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • The multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures the co-evolution of field strength/geometry—Faraday layering—MHD diagnostics—CR coupling, with interpretable parameters and testable covariances with warp/wind/filament feeding indicators.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_warp/ψ_CR/ψ_wind/ζ_topo disentangle ordered-field amplification, layered depolarization, and arch-geometry reshaping.
   • Operational strategy: sample selection via ψ_CR, ψ_wind, G_env and strip scans to maximize dome SNR while minimizing layer-mixing bias.
2. Blind Spots
   • At the lowest densities, intermittent turbulence / non-Markovian memory can outlier σ_RM/DP.
   • Couplings between dust polarimetry/scattering geometry and Faraday depth introduce systematic uncertainties requiring stronger forward modelling and hierarchical priors.
3. Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions
   • Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
   • Suggestions:
     1. Multi-band RM layering scans: 0.6–6 GHz stepping to map DP(λ) & σ_RM, invert N_layer and φ structure.
     2. CR/wind stratification: group by γ-ray tracers / wind indicators to test B_ord–ψ_CR/ψ_wind covariance.
     3. Warp control set: contrast high/low ψ_warp subsets for p_B, H_dome, κ_dome.
     4. Systematics controls: compare to MHD controls under identical selection functions; run leave-one-host ΔAIC/ΔBIC/ΔRMSE checks.
