I. Abstract

• Objective: Quantify “high-order flexion excess” (systematic excess versus mainstream modeling) over multi-platform arc/ring data, jointly evaluating E_F,G, A_F3/f_F3, C_align, high-k uplift ΔP_hi with turnover k_turn, and covariance with flux-ratio anomalies ΔFR to test the path/tensor mechanisms of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Result: From 67 systems, 198 conditions, and 1.38×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.909 (−18.3% vs. mainstream). Estimates include E_F=0.26±0.06, E_G=0.19±0.05, A_F3=0.21±0.05, k_turn=0.27±0.06 kpc^-1, and C_(ΔFR,F3)=0.41±0.09.
• Conclusion: Excess arises from Path Tension sign changes in path integrals and Statistical Tensor Gravity phase alignment; Terminal Calibration modulates band/source dependence; Coherence Window/Response Limit set scale and upper bounds; Topology/Reconstruction shapes ΔP_hi and X_FG through LOS/environmental networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Flexion excess: E_F,G = (F,G)_obs / (F,G)_model − 1; third-order term amplitude A_F3 and principal frequency f_F3.
   • Alignment & leakage: C_align = ⟨cos(θ_F − θ_shear)⟩; B_leak and X_FG record E/B and F/G cross-mode coupling.
   • Power & covariance: high-k uplift ΔP_hi in P_κ(k) and turnover k_turn; C_(ΔFR,F3) quantifies covariance with ΔFR.
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   Substructure/LOS, baryonic discs/tides, and microlensing uplift high-k power partly, but under a single parameter set they struggle to match stable E_F>0, E_G>0, A_F3 and concurrent ΔFR enhancement without heavy systematics tuning, while preserving observed C_align and X_FG.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equations (plain text; path & measure declared: gamma(ell), d ell)
   • S01: κ_eff(x,ν) = κ_0(x) · [ 1 + gamma_Path · J(x,ν) ] + k_STG · G_env(x), with J = ∫_gamma ( ∇T(x,ν) · d ell ) / J0
   • S02: E_F ≈ a1 · gamma_Path · ⟨J⟩ + a2 · beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T(source,ref), E_G ≈ a3 · k_STG · G_env − a4 · eta_Damp · σ_env
   • S03: A_F3 ≈ Ψ( xi_RL ; theta_Coh ) · ( 1 − eta_Damp ), f_F3 ∝ theta_Coh / L_eff
   • S04: ΔP_hi ≈ D_gap^* · S(k; k_turn, theta_Coh) + c1 · zeta_topo + c2 · psi_env
   • S05: C_(ΔFR,F3) ≈ Corr( ΔFR , A_F3 | gamma_Path, beta_TPR ), X_FG ∝ k_STG · G_env
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — Path Tension drives first-order F/G excess.
   • P02 — Statistical Tensor Gravity supplies environmental phase and cross-mode sources (X_FG, B_leak).
   • P03 — Terminal Calibration controls band/source differentials.
   • P04 — Coherence Window & Response Limit define visibility band and amplitude caps for high-order terms.
   • P05 — Topology/Reconstruction reshapes high-k power and excess spatial patterns.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • Space/ground imaging & visibilities: HST, JWST, ALMA, VLBI, deep flexion-enabled wide fields; LOS/environment catalogs.
   • Conditions: multi-band (radio/sub-mm/optical/NIR), diverse morphologies, multiple environment levels (G_env, Σ_env); 198 conditions total.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions
   • Unified PSF/beam deconvolution; morphology debiasing; common astrometry/time-delay zeros.
   • Arc decomposition to extract F/G and A_F3/f_F3; principal-axis alignment for C_align.
   • Power-spectrum reconstruction for P_κ(k) and k_turn; E/B decomposition and X_FG evaluation.
   • Multi-plane inversion of κ_eff, γ_eff, separating microlensing/substructure/plasma-dispersion terms.
   • Joint fit of ΔFR with A_F3 to obtain C_(ΔFR,F3).
   • Error propagation via total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; cross-platform covariance recalibration.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (platform/system/environment layers); MCMC with R_hat ≤ 1.05 and effective-sample thresholds.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation; leave-one-out by system/band/environment buckets.

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative/phase structure (S01–S05) captures E_F,G, A_F3/f_F3, C_align, ΔP_hi/k_turn, and C_(ΔFR,F3)/X_FG under a single parameter set with clear physical meaning.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/beta_TPR/k_STG/theta_Coh/xi_RL/zeta_topo/psi_env distinguish path, terminal, and environmental-topology contributions.
   • Practical utility: provides band windows and amplitude limits for excess occurrence, informing platform/band configuration, target priority, and exposure estimates.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under extreme LOS complexity and strong baryonic disturbances, zeta_topo may degenerate with substructure/disc terms; polarization/spectral corroboration recommended.
   • For low-S/N small arcs, correlation between E_F and B_leak increases; higher resolution/deeper exposure helps reduce degeneracy.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Synchronized Multi-Platform: HST/JWST + ALMA/VLBI to validate robust positive C_(ΔFR,F3).
   • Band Scans: build A_F3(ν) and E_F(ν) curves to test theta_Coh-set turnovers.
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env to inspect environmental dependence of X_FG and ΔP_hi.
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce the difference tables on new systems to verify extrapolation and falsifiability.
