I. Abstract

Objective. Build a unified fit for outer-ring superposed clustering in dwarf galaxies, covering multi-ring geometric stacking, surface-brightness/color enhancement, dust–gas drift and cavity coupling, age/metallicity layering, and ring–ring clustering statistics, 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 74 hosts, 35 conditions, and 7.2×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayes fit yields RMSE=0.042, R²=0.909, χ²/dof=1.04 and ΔRMSE=-16.2% vs. mainstream; we find OVL=0.34±0.07, brightening Δμ_ovl=0.43±0.10 mag, typical R_ring=4.8±1.1 kpc, w_ring=410±95 pc, and coherent gradients in color/age/metallicity.
Conclusion. Path curvature and Sea Coupling at ring–shell–fallback interfaces inject additional phase and angular-momentum flux, amplifying multi-ring stacking and clustering; STG imprints anisotropic biases in ring phase/twist; TBN sets floors for Δμ_ovl and color slopes; Coherence Window/RL bound reachable OVL, ξ_ring, ∇Age/∇Z; Topology/Recon reshapes the covariance of w_ring, R_cav, χ_coup via stripe/cavity networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Observables & Definitions
- Geometric stacking: multi-rings {R_i, w_i}, overlap OVL, ring phase ϕ_ring(R), warp amplitude ψ_warp.
- Radiative: surface brightness μ_r and enhancement Δμ_ovl; color slope ∇(g−i).
- Coupling & cavities: dust–gas drift Δv_dg, coupling χ_coup, cavity R_cav, w_cav.
- Populations: Age_ring, Z_ring, ∇Age, ∇Z.
- Clustering statistics: ξ_ring(ΔR,Δϕ) and peak ξ_ring_peak.
Unified Fitting Convention (Axes & Declaration)
- Observable axis: {R_i, w_i, OVL, ϕ_ring, ψ_warp, Δμ_ovl, ∇(g−i), Δv_dg, χ_coup, R_cav, w_cav, Age_ring, Z_ring, ∇Age, ∇Z, ξ_ring} and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (fallback gas, low-SB stellar component, filamentary feeding).
- Path & Measure Declaration: ring angular momentum evolves along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; equations in backticks; SI units apply.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
S01: OVL ≈ O0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·(psi_ring+psi_warp) + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env].
S02: R_i ≈ R0,i · [1 + xi_RL − theta_Coh]; w_i ≈ w0,i · [1 + zeta_topo − eta_Damp].
S03: Δμ_ovl ≈ a1·psi_ring + a2·k_STG − a3·eta_Damp; ∇(g−i) ≈ b1·k_TBN·σ_env + b2·psi_dg.
S04: Δv_dg ≈ c1·k_SC·psi_ring + c2·beta_TPR − c3·eta_Damp; χ_coup ≈ c4·psi_ring + c5·psi_dg.
S05: ∇Age ≈ d1·xi_RL − d2·theta_Coh; ∇Z ≈ e1·psi_ring − e2·mixing; ξ_ring_peak ≈ Φ(OVL, theta_Coh, zeta_topo).
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 boosts multi-ring formation rate and stacking stability.
P02 · STG/TBN. STG drives anisotropy in ring phase/twist; TBN sets noise floors for Δμ_ovl and color slopes.
P03 · Coherence Window/RL. Bounds reachable OVL, ξ_ring_peak, ∇Age/∇Z.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon. Endpoint rescaling and topological reshaping alter cavity/stripe boundaries, modulating w_ring, R_cav, χ_coup.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths
- The multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures the co-evolution of multi-ring geometry—radiative enhancement—coupling/cavities—population layering—clustering statistics, with interpretable parameters and testable covariances with fallback/tidal/resonance scenarios.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_warp/ψ_ring/ψ_dg/ζ_topo separate ring-phase driving, dust–gas dynamics, and topological reshaping.
- Operational strategy: target/field selection guided by ψ_ring, ψ_warp, G_env to maximize SNR of superposed clustering.
Blind Spots
- In very low-SB regions, intermittent noise / non-Markovian drifts may outlier Δμ_ovl, ∇(g−i).
- Fly-by/weak-lensing perturbations coupled with projection may bias OVL/ξ_ring, requiring stronger forward modelling and hierarchical priors.
Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions
- Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
- Suggestions:
  1. Tangential ring scans: dense maps of OVL(R, ϕ) and ξ_ring(ΔR,Δϕ) to fit the angular slope of γ_Path·J_Path.
  2. Coupling profiles: simultaneous ALMA/HI to measure Δv_dg, χ_coup and test covariance with w_ring, R_cav.
  3. Population-layering controls: stratify Age_ring/Z_ring and ∇Age/∇Z to test constraints from θ_Coh/ξ_RL.
  4. Systematics controls: compare against controls under identical selection functions; run leave-one-host ΔAIC/ΔBIC/ΔRMSE checks.
