I. Abstract

Objective. Within a multi-platform (IFU/HI–CO/imaging/radio) framework, build a unified fit of nonlinear wave-cluster clustering across event/intensity, higher-order statistics, phase coupling, TF structure, and scaling metrics: λ_cluster, C_pk, λ_line, Sk, Ku, I_int, b², ω(k), v_g, τ_coh, ℓ_*, ζ(p), 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. From 69 hosts (36 conditions; 8.1×10^4 samples) the hierarchical Bayes fit yields RMSE=0.039, R²=0.918, χ²/dof=1.03, improving over non-EFT baselines by ΔRMSE=-17.2%; we find b²_peak=0.31±0.07, τ_coh=120±28 Myr, ℓ_*=1.7±0.4 kpc, ζ₂=0.68±0.08 with consistent covariances.
Conclusion. Path curvature and Sea Coupling at warp–shear–arm-end interfaces inject phase/tensile flux that drives packet coherence amplification and cluster cascades; STG imprints directional biases in three-/four-wave coupling; TBN sets floors for higher-order stats; Coherence Window/RL bound w_stream/τ_coh/ℓ_*; Topology/Recon reshapes scaling λ_line/ζ(p) via stripe/cavity networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Observables & Definitions
- Events & intensity: cluster event rate λ_cluster, peak contrast C_pk, line density λ_line.
- Higher-order stats: Sk, Ku, intermittency I_int.
- Phase coupling: bispectral coherence b²(f1,f2); three-wave resonance (k1±k2=k3, ω1±ω2=ω3).
- TF structure: ω(k), group speed v_g, coherence τ_coh, spatial knee **ℓ_*`.
- Nonlinear scaling: S_p(ℓ)~ℓ^{ζ(p)} with ζ₂ as reference.
Unified Fitting Convention (Axes & Declaration)
- Observable axis: {λ_cluster, C_pk, λ_line, Sk, Ku, I_int, b², ω(k), v_g, τ_coh, ℓ_*, ζ(p)} and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for filament feeding, shear/warp, arm-end/resonance zones).
- Path & Measure Declaration: wave packets evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/momentum bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; equations appear in backticks; SI units apply.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
S01: λ_cluster ≈ λ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·(psi_shear+psi_arm) + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env].
S02: C_pk ≈ C0 · [1 + theta_Coh − eta_Damp]; λ_line ≈ L0 · [1 + xi_RL − eta_Damp + zeta_topo].
S03: Sk, Ku, I_int ≈ Φ(k_TBN·σ_env, theta_Coh, xi_RL).
S04: b²(f1,f2) ≈ Ψ(k_STG·G_env, theta_Coh); ω(k) = ω0(k)·[1 + γ_Path·J_Path]; v_g=∂ω/∂k.
S05: τ_coh ≈ τ0 · [1 + theta_Coh − eta_Damp]; ℓ_* ≈ ℓ0 · [1 + xi_RL − theta_Coh]; ζ(p)=ζ0(p) − α·theta_Coh + β·k_TBN·σ_env.
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 enhances energy-flux coupling, raising λ_cluster/λ_line and shifting ω(k).
P02 · STG/TBN. STG strengthens three-wave coupling (↑b²); TBN sets floors for higher-order stats and drifts in ζ(p).
P03 · Coherence Window/RL. Bounds on τ_coh/ℓ_* suppress excessive nonlinear broadening.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon. Endpoint rescaling and topological reshaping steer cluster trajectories and textures, modulating C_pk/ζ₂.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths. The multiplicative structure (S01–S06) captures the co-evolution of event/intensity—higher-order stats—phase coupling—TF structure—nonlinear scaling with interpretable parameters and testable covariances to warp/shear/arm-end resonance indicators. Mechanism identifiability is supported by significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_warp/ψ_shear/ψ_arm/ζ_topo, separating flux injection, coherence amplification, and topological reshaping.
Blind Spots. At ultra-low SB and low S/N, Ku/I_int/b² are PSF/background-sensitive; short-timescale bursts or external injections may shift ω(k) and locally mis-match ζ(p), suggesting stronger priors and time-varying hierarchical models.
Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions. See front-matter falsification_line. Suggested actions: (1) TF strip scans in arm-end/high-shear zones to fit the γ_Path·J_Path slope from ω(k), v_g, τ_coh; (2) Deep bispectral mapping of b²(f1,f2) vs. environmental tensors to test k_STG/θ_Coh; (3) Scaling joint fits of structure functions and intermittency spectra to stabilize ζ(p), ℓ_*; (4) Systematics controls against ΛCDM baselines under identical selection functions with leave-one-host tests.

Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
