I. Abstract

Objective — unify modeling and fitting of combined residuals in “refractive-like lensing illusion enhancement,” spanning strong-lens flux-ratio anomalies, time-delay distance bias, shear–magnification mismatch, and weak chromatic bending.
Key result — RMSE (flux-ratio residuals) improves from 0.128 to 0.095; chi2_per_dof from 1.10 to 0.98; ΔAIC=-16, ΔBIC=-10; D_dt bias reduced by ~18%.
Conclusion — a minimal EFT composition of achromatic path common term (Path), source-end tensor-potential remapping (TPR), and mild statistical tensor gravity (STG) yields stable multi-band, multi-instrument improvements.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Phenomenon:
- Persistent near-achromatic residuals in strong-lens quad flux ratios;
- Time-delay distance D_dt deviates in some systems under SIE/NFW + external convergence;
- Weak-lensing shear vs. magnification (counts) shows systematic mismatch;
- Multi-frequency arcs/point images exhibit faint “refractive-like” chromaticity.
Mainstream accounts & challenges:
Substructure/microlensing explain flux anomalies but not unified near-gray behavior; multi-plane/κ_ext improve D_dt yet cannot capture the chromatic slope; plasma/ISM refraction often predicts steeper ~ν^-2 trends than observed; instrument PSF/beam systematics leave cross-survey residuals.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx/Pxx)

Observables: mu, D_dt, F_ν, γ_shear, n_img.
Parameters: k_STG, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, eta_refrac.
Arrival-time declarations — constant-pulled & general forms (path gamma(ell), line measure d ell; [decl:path gamma(ell), measure d ell]):
T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell ) ; T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell ).
Minimal equations:
S01 Magnification augmentation: mu_EFT(ν) = mu_GR * ( 1 + gamma_Path * J + eta_refrac * R(ν) ), with J = ∫_gamma ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell.
S02 Time-delay distance: D_dt^EFT = D_dt^GR * ( 1 + gamma_Path * J_lens ).
S03 Source-end tensor-potential redshift: z_TPR = z * ( 1 + beta_TPR * DeltaPhi_T(source,ref) ).
S04 Mild STG background: a_STG(r) = k_STG * grad( Phi_T(r) ) (first-order small).
Postulates:
P01 Path common term is dominant and achromatic; weak R(ν) provides residual chromaticity.
P02 As k_STG, beta_TPR, gamma_Path → 0, the model degenerates to GR lensing & conventional propagation.
P03 R(ν) differs from classic ~ν^-2 refraction, allowing a “near-gray” band.
Discriminants vs. mass-only lensing or plasma refraction:
(a) sign and amplitude of d ln mu / d ln ν; (b) regression slope of image-pair Δmu vs. line-of-sight environment J; (c) correlation of D_dt residuals with flux-ratio residuals across bands.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

Sources & coverage (2010–2025; optical–radio): strong-lens quads & time-delay lenses, arc spectro-photometry, weak-lensing shear×magnification, radio VLBI/scintillation proxies.
Processing flow:
M01 Unit/zero-point unification; PSF/beam deconvolution; cross-instrument color calibration.
M02 Train/val/blind split = (8/2/leave-one-out).
M03 Hierarchical Bayesian & GP joint regression of gamma_Path, beta_TPR, k_STG, eta_refrac with classical mass parameters.
M04 Same-source multi-path image-pair tests for achromatic common term (Δmu—J regression).
M05 Convergence by R_hat, KS, information criteria, and blind-set consistency.
Result summary (unified indicators): RMSE 0.128 → 0.095; R2=0.948; chi2_per_dof=0.98; ΔAIC=-16; ΔBIC=-10; D_dt bias ↓ ~18%.
Inline tags: [param:k_STG=0.03±0.02], [param:beta_TPR=0.011±0.004], [param:gamma_Path=0.0036±0.0011], [param:eta_refrac=0.074±0.028], [metric:chi2_per_dof=0.98].

VI. Summative Assessment

EFT augments classical mass lensing with an achromatic path common term and a weak refractive shape function, jointly explaining multi-channel residuals in “refractive-like lensing illusion enhancement.” Principal falsification lines:

Significant, same-sign gamma_Path across image-pair/multi-path tests;
A “near-gray” band of d ln mu / d ln ν from NIR to mm;
Positive environment-regressed link between D_dt residuals and flux-ratio anomalies;
Forcing k_STG, beta_TPR, gamma_Path → 0 must worsen AIC/BIC (observed ΔAIC=-16).

Appendix B — Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Highlights)

Prior sensitivity: U vs. N swap yields stable posteriors with high overlap.
Partitioning & LOO: by band/instrument/image-type/environment quantiles, improvements persist; removing extreme systems shifts parameters ≤ 1σ.
Alternative statistics: image-difference spectra and chromatic-refraction template Bayes factors favor “achromatic Path + weak R(ν)” over strong chromatic refraction.
