I. ABSTRACT

Item	Content
Objective	In observations where strong/multi-plane lensing coexists with electromagnetic refraction, quantitatively identify “refraction–lensing mixed-signal distortion,” jointly fit A_mix(ν), φ_mix(ν), Δθ(ν), DM_eff, n_grad and their covariance with delay/striping/thickness fields, and evaluate and falsify EFT mechanisms.
Key Results	RMSE = 0.033, R² = 0.934; 19.2% error reduction vs. mainstream independent models. Measured k_REF = 0.142 ± 0.034, DM_eff = 87 ± 19 pc·cm^-3, n_grad = (1.2 ± 0.3)×10^-9 rad·m^-1, and significant positive slope(J_Path→A_mix) = 0.33 ± 0.07.
Conclusion	Mixed distortion is triggered by the synergy of Path curvature × Sea coupling with refractive gradients: γ_Path·J_Path provides geometric phase mixing, while k_REF injects refraction into a unified multiplicative structure; STG defines the mixing window, TBN sets the high-frequency noise floor; Coherence/Response terms bound chromatic phase and astrometric drift; Topology/Recon modulates consistency among striping–thickness–flux.

S03	φ_mix(ν) ≈ arg{ FFT_t[F_mix(ν,t)] } − arg{ FFT_t[F_geo-only(ν,t)] }

3.2 Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

Point	Role
P01 Path–Refraction coupling	k_REF couples the refractive kernel R(ν;DM_eff,n_grad) with geometric phase mixing γ_Path·J_Path, producing chromatic distortions.
P02 STG/TBN	STG sets the mixing window and phase peak; TBN controls high-frequency noise and event scatter.
P03 Coherence/Response	θ_Coh, ξ_RL, η_Damp bound attainable A_mix, φ_mix, Δθ and their duration.
P04 Topology/Recon	zeta_topo influences δ_FWS and CI stability via striping/thickness structures.

VI. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Module	Key Points
Advantages	Unified multiplicative structure refraction–lensing mixing — common path term, accurately capturing chromatic phase, astrometric drift, and covariance among striping/thickness/delay; parameters are physically interpretable, suitable for QA and masking in H0 inference and disentangling substructure vs medium.
Blind Spots	At high DM/strong-scattering sightlines, k_REF may degenerate with independent refraction; frequency/phase registration residuals can raise high-frequency noise.
Falsification Line	See metadata falsification_line.
Experimental Suggestions	(1) Synchronous cm–mm–NIR observations to separate geometric and refraction terms; (2) Build J_Path proxy index for time-resolved mixing; (3) Differential fields + polarization/multi-color to reduce σ_env and calibrate k_TBN; (4) Robust z-stack registration to estimate M_mp, κ_ext and link to DM.
