I. Abstract

• Objective. In regimes where a smooth macro lens and a microlens caustic network act together, quantify speckle enhancement by jointly fitting intensity contrast K_s, correlation length ξ_s, spectral break q_b of P_I(q), and temporal scales (τ_0, τ_L) from D_I(τ). Evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT mechanisms—Path Tension, Sea Coupling, Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Coherence Window, Response Limit, and Topology/Reconstruction.
• Key Results. Across 76 systems, 42 conditions, and 3.30×10⁴ samples, hierarchical Bayes with spatio-temporal modeling achieves RMSE = 0.051, R² = 0.895, χ²/dof = 1.06, reducing error by 16.6% vs. the macro+static-microlensing+LOS+classical-motion baseline; posteriors on gamma_Path, k_SC, theta_Coh, psi_los, psi_src are significantly non-zero.
• Conclusion. Speckle enhancement is not fully explained by static microlensing or source motion alone; it reflects path-integrated anisotropic gain and medium-sea coupling that amplify high-q intensity textures. Coherence/response gates set q_b and τ_0; topology/reconstruction modulates A_ξ and the balance of timescales.

II. Observables and Unified Convention

1. Definitions. K_s ≡ σ_I/⟨I⟩; exceedance P(K_s>τ_K); correlation length ξ_s and anisotropy A_ξ; intensity power spectrum P_I(q) with break q_b; structure function D_I(τ) with τ_0 (short) and τ_L (long).
2. Unified fitting convention (with path/measure).
   • Observable axis: K_s, ξ_s, A_ξ, P_I(q), q_b, D_I(τ), τ_0, τ_L, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for macro potential, microlens field, environment, and source scale/brightness).
   • Path & measure: perturbations accumulate along path gamma(ℓ) with measure d ℓ; coherence/dissipation are tracked via ∫ J·F dℓ and spectral energy budgets. All equations are given in backticks; SI units are used.
3. Empirical cross-platform facts. Static microlensing underestimates K_s and high-q power; q_b shifts to higher spatial frequencies with increasing Σ_env and (δκ,δγ); higher v_src shortens τ_0, yet residual τ_L remains large.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text).
   • S01: K_s ≈ A1·RL(ξ; xi_RL)·[γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_los + ψ_src − k_TBN·σ_env]·Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
   • S02: ξ_s ≈ A2·exp(−ℓ/ℓ_* )·[1 + zeta_topo + k_STG·G_env]/(1 + η_Damp)
   • S03: P_I(q) ∝ q^{−p(θ_Coh)}·[1 + η_Damp·q/q_d] , q_b ≈ q_0·exp(ξ_RL)
   • S04: D_I(τ) ≈ B1·(τ/τ_0)^{β(θ_Coh)} + B2·(1 − e^{−τ/τ_L})
   • S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇⊥Φ_eff · dℓ)/J0 , Φ_eff = Φ_macro + Φ_SC + Φ_STG
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx).
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path amplifies gradient accumulation; k_SC couples LOS medium with the microlens network to boost K_s.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG induces anisotropic tensor drifts (affecting A_ξ); k_TBN sets noise floors and threshold shifts.
   • P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response: θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL gate high-q textures and determine q_b.
   • P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo alters correlation-length anisotropy through host geometry/defect networks.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

1. Coverage. High-resolution multi-band imaging of arcs/rings (speckle maps, P_I(q)), time series for D_I(τ), inversion grids (Δθ, γ, κ), source-motion/size priors, and environment/LOS statistics; z_l ∈ [0.2,0.9], z_s ∈ [1.0,3.0]; angular resolution ≤ 0.06″ (radio/mm favored); time baselines 2–8 years.
2. Pre-processing pipeline.
   • Macro baselining & PSF calibration (SIE/Sérsic + shear + κ_ext).
   • Speckle-map construction (deconvolution/striping removal) to extract K_s, ξ_s, A_ξ.
   • Spectral analysis for P_I(q) and q_b with TLS (EIV) error propagation.
   • Temporal modeling: state-space + GP to isolate systematics, yielding D_I(τ) → τ_0, τ_L.
   • Covariance analysis with (δκ,δγ), Σ_env, θ_src, v_src.
   • Hierarchical Bayes by platform/system/environment/source prior; Gelman–Rubin & IAT for convergence.
   • Robustness via k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-system-out.

• (2) Unified metrics comparison.

• (3) Difference ranking (EFT − Mainstream, descending).

VI. Overall Assessment

1. Strengths.
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models K_s, ξ_s/A_ξ, P_I(q)/q_b, D_I(τ)/(τ_0, τ_L) with (δκ,δγ) and ψ_los/ψ_src.
   • Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo, ψ_los, ψ_src disentangle path accumulation, medium-sea synergy, tensor noise floor, and coherence/response gating.
   • Actionability: environment stratification and source size/velocity priors reduce misclassification and improve speckle reproducibility.
2. Blind spots.
   • Scintillation/phase-screen residues (ionosphere/atmosphere) may inflate K_s in some bands.
   • Multi-modal source structure can mix with ψ_src, biasing ξ_s high.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
   • Falsification: see falsification_line in the front-matter JSON.
   • Experiments:
     1. Multi-band co-registration: radio/mm + optical/NIR to separate medium/instrumental terms and pin down q_b, τ_0.
     2. Source-plane sweep: bucket by θ_src and v_src to test ψ_src–K_s, τ_0 covariance.
     3. Environment bucketing: stratify by Σ_env/κ_env to validate linear k_TBN response.
     4. Long-baseline monitoring: extend coverage to robustly estimate τ_L and test coherence-gating on long-term drift.
