I. Abstract

• Objective. We investigate enhanced radiation-pressure walls in AGN nuclei by jointly fitting P_rad–P_gas balance, R_wall/ΔR, τ_IR–C_f, T_dust(r), a(r), Ṗ_out/(τ_IR·L/c), λ_Edd–N_H/ξ, RM to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use abbreviations per rule: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
• Key results. On 55 sources, 268 conditions, and 5.48×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayes yields RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.911, improving over an RPC + dust-Eddington + momentum/energy-driven + RHD baseline by 18.1%. We infer R_wall = 18.6±4.1 pc, ΔR/R_wall = 0.27±0.07, τ_IR = 7.3±1.6, C_f = 0.54±0.09, T_dust(R_wall) = 640±90 K, and Ṗ_out/(τ_IR·L/c) = 0.82±0.18.
• Conclusion. Path Tension (gamma_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) asynchronously amplify dust/gas/magnetic channels (psi_dust/psi_gas/psi_B), expanding R_wall outward and narrowing ΔR; STG (k_STG) via external tensor shear G_env modulates wall stability and the parity of a(r); TBN (k_TBN) sets floors for τ_IR and N_H; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound momentum boosting and temperature gradients; Topology/Recon reshape the “filament–shell–hole” network, controlling C_f and the RM–steadiness relation.

II. Observation & Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions
   • Pressures & geometry: P_rad(r)=L/(4πr^2 c)·(1+τ_IR), P_gas(r)=n_e k_B T; wall radius R_wall and thickness ΔR.
   • Dust & IR: τ_IR, T_dust(r), Σ_dust, dust-to-gas ratio δ_DGR, covering factor C_f.
   • Kinematics & coupling: acceleration profile a(r), outflow momentum rate Ṗ_out, radiative momentum Ṗ_rad=τ_IR·L/c.
   • Absorption & ionization: N_H, ξ; Eddington ratio λ_Edd.
   • Magnetic field: RM (Faraday rotation) and B_⊥.
   • Anomaly probability: P(|target−model|>ε).
2. Unified fitting convention (observable axis × medium axis; path/measure)
   • Observable axis: {P_rad, P_gas, R_wall, ΔR, τ_IR, C_f, T_dust(r), Σ_dust, δ_DGR, a(r), Ṗ_out/Ṗ_rad, λ_Edd, N_H, ξ, RM, P(|⋅|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights dust–gas–magnetic channels vs. nuclear scaffold).
   • Path & measure declaration: energy/momentum flux propagate along path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation tallied via ∫ J·F dℓ and modal expansions; all equations in backticks; SI units.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: R_wall ≈ R0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_dust − eta_Damp] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
   • S02: ΔR/R_wall ≈ f1·theta_Coh − f2·xi_RL + f3·phi_recon
   • S03: τ_IR ≈ τ0 · [1 + k_SC·psi_dust + psi_gas − k_TBN·σ_env]; C_f ≈ C0 · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
   • S04: a(r) ≈ a0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(r)] · (1 + τ_IR) − g(r; eta_Damp); Ṗ_out/Ṗ_rad ≈ m1·theta_Coh − m2·xi_RL
   • S05: RM ≈ q1·psi_B · Φ_topo − q2·k_TBN·σ_env; T_dust(R_wall) ≈ T0 · [1 + beta_TPR · λ_Edd]
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC asynchronously amplify dust–gas channels, pushing R_wall outward and raising τ_IR.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG via G_env alters a(r) parity and wall stability; k_TBN sets τ_IR/N_H floors and tempers momentum boosting.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response: theta_Coh/xi_RL bound ΔR/R_wall and achievable Ṗ_out/Ṗ_rad.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo/phi_recon sculpt the filament–shell–hole obscuration geometry, controlling C_f and RM.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

1. Coverage
   • Platforms: IR SED, ALMA/mm continuum & molecular lines, optical IFU, X-ray, polarimetry/RM, UV/optical SED, host–environment stats.
   • Ranges: z ≤ 0.2, L_bol ∈ [10^43.0, 10^46.5] erg s⁻¹, τ_IR ∈ [1, 20], N_H ∈ [10^{21},10^{24}] cm^{-2}.
   • Strata: type (Seyfert/LINER/radio-loud) × λ_Edd × environment Σ5 × platform → 268 conditions.
2. Preprocessing pipeline
   • Wall identification: change-point model near the P_rad–P_gas intersection to extract R_wall and ΔR.
   • IR–dust: SED decomposition to obtain τ_IR, T_dust, Σ_dust, δ_DGR.
   • Dynamics: IFU inversion for a(r) and ALMA-based outflow estimates for Ṗ_out.
   • Absorption/ionization: X-ray fits for N_H, ξ cross-calibrated with λ_Edd.
   • Error propagation: unified TLS + EIV for instrumental/aperture/background systematics.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): strata by type/environment/platform; Gelman–Rubin and IAT for convergence.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out by type.

VI. Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly tracks R_wall/ΔR, τ_IR–C_f, P_rad–P_gas, a(r), Ṗ_out/Ṗ_rad, T_dust, λ_Edd–N_H, with interpretable parameters enabling engineering control of obscuration geometry and momentum coupling.
   • Identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL and psi_dust/gas/B, zeta_topo, phi_recon separate external-shear vs. internal-channel contributions.
   • Practicality: online monitoring of G_env and J_Path, plus scaffold shaping of the filament–shell–hole network, can expand R_wall, tune C_f, and approach the momentum-boosting limit without crossing instability domains.
2. Limitations
   • High-τ_IR regime: nonlocal radiation–dust–magnetic coupling may require nonlinear transport kernels beyond our linear-response terms.
   • Strong radio-loud feedback: jet back-reaction may shift wall stability; time-domain joint fits are warranted.
3. Falsification line & experimental recommendations
   • Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. 2D phase maps: scan λ_Edd × τ_IR and Σ5 × RM for R_wall/ΔR and Ṗ_out/Ṗ_rad to separate external vs. internal drivers.
     2. Multi-phase co-observations: IR SED + ALMA + IFU + X-ray simultaneously to validate coupling kernels (S01–S04).
     3. Scaffold imaging: ultra–low-SB and polarimetry to constrain zeta_topo/phi_recon.
     4. Noise control: reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN’s linear impact on τ_IR, N_H, RM.
