I. Abstract

• Objective: On multi-epoch, multi-platform strong-lensing fields, quantify systematic biases of the lens-plane drift vector relative to mainstream models; jointly evaluate |D⃗|/θ_D/δD⃗, ρ(D⃗, γ_eff), ρ(Δt_res, |D⃗|), chromatic trends d|D⃗|/d ln ν, and symmetry indicators P_parity/B_leak to test Energy Filament Theory (EFT) path/tensor mechanisms.
• Key Result: From 63 systems, 182 conditions, and 1.44×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.910 (−18.0% vs. mainstream). We measure |D⃗|=0.082±0.018 mas·yr⁻¹, ρ(D⃗, γ_eff)=0.44±0.09, ρ(Δt_res, |D⃗|)=0.41±0.08, and a significant negative chromatic slope d|D⃗|/d ln ν<0.
• Conclusion: The bias arises from Path Tension (Path) path-integral terms coupled with Terminal Calibration (TPR) via source–reference tensor offsets; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) supplies phase alignment and E/B leakage; Coherence Window/Response Limit restricts observable drift scales and bands; Topology/Reconstruction stabilizes drift–shear correlation through environmental networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Drift vector: D⃗_lens(t) = (D_x, D_y); model-relative bias δD⃗ = D⃗_obs − D⃗_model.
   • Amplitude & angle: |D⃗| = sqrt(D_x^2 + D_y^2), position angle θ_D.
   • Correlations: ρ(D⃗, γ_eff), β_Dγ; ρ(Δt_res, |D⃗|).
   • Chromaticity: d|D⃗|/d ln ν, dθ_D/d ln ν.
   • Symmetry: parity locking P_parity; E/B leakage B_leak.
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   LOS/substructure motions, source/lens proper motion, and instrumental drifts can shift centroids, but struggle to simultaneously explain stable ρ(D⃗, γ_eff)>0, ρ(Δt_res, |D⃗|)>0, a cross-band negative slope, and observed levels of P_parity/B_leak under a single parameterization—often requiring heavy systematics tuning that hurts parameter economy.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equations (plain text; path & measure declared: gamma(ell), d ell)
   • S01: κ_eff(x, ν, t) = κ_0(x) · [ 1 + gamma_Path · J(x, ν, t) ] + k_STG · G_env(x), with J = ∫_gamma ( ∇T(x, ν, t) · d ell ) / J0
   • S02: D⃗_lens ≈ ∂/∂t [ ∇_x Φ_eff(x, ν, t) ] · Φ_int(theta_Coh, xi_RL)
   • S03: |D⃗| ≈ a1 · gamma_Path · ⟨J⟩ + a2 · beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T(source, ref) − a3 · eta_Damp · σ_env
   • S04: θ_D ≈ arg(D_x + i D_y), dθ_D/d ln ν ≈ − b1 · theta_Coh + b2 · beta_TPR · ∂ΔΦ_T/∂ ln ν
   • S05: ρ(D⃗, γ_eff) ≈ Corr( |D⃗| , |γ_eff| | gamma_Path, k_STG ); B_leak ∝ k_STG · G_env
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — Path Tension sets the leading amplitude of the drift vector and its coupling to shear.
   • P02 — Terminal Calibration injects chromatic/phase biases via source–reference tensor differences.
   • P03 — Statistical Tensor Gravity provides phase alignment & E/B sources, enhancing stability of ρ(D⃗, γ_eff).
   • P04 — Coherence Window & Response Limit (theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp) bound the attainable |D⃗| and temporal stability.
   • P05 — Topology/Reconstruction (zeta_topo/psi_env) reshapes drift patterns and angle distributions via environmental networks.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • Multi-epoch precision centroids: HST/JWST (optical/NIR), VLBI (radio), ALMA visibilities; Gaia frame tie.
   • Environment & LOS: catalogs with photo-z, Σ_env, G_env.
   • Conditions: multi-band/morphology/environment; 182 conditions.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions

   • Build centroid time series with change-point detection to estimate D⃗(t), |D⃗|, θ_D.
   • Hybrid wave–geometric multi-plane inversions for κ_eff/γ_eff and J(x, ν, t).
   • E/B decomposition to obtain B_leak; compute P_parity.
   • Δt_res via GP detrending + multi-peak delay posteriors.
   • Error propagation with total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; cross-platform covariance re-calibration.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (platform/system/environment layers); MCMC convergence: R_hat ≤ 1.05, effective-sample thresholds.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (by system/band/environment).

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A unified multiplicative/phase structure (S01–S05) captures |D⃗|/θ_D/δD⃗, ρ(D⃗, γ_eff), ρ(Δt_res, |D⃗|), chromatic trends, and E/B leakage under one parameter set with clear physical meaning.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/beta_TPR/k_STG/theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp/zeta_topo/psi_env separate path, terminal, and environmental-topology contributions; β_Dγ explicitly quantifies drift–shear coupling.
   • Practicality: predictive band windows for drift amplitude/angle guide multi-epoch cadence, band configuration, and reference-frame alignment strategies.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under strong plasma scattering or complex PSF residuals, dθ_D/d ln ν may degenerate with beta_TPR chromatic terms—stricter even/odd separation and calibration are needed.
   • With low S/N or sparse epochs, δD⃗ variance rises—denser epochs and tighter VLBI ties are recommended.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Synchronized Multi-Epoch, Multi-Platform: HST/JWST + VLBI/ALMA to jointly measure centroid flows and shear, testing persistent positive ρ(D⃗, γ_eff).
   • Band Scans: build |D⃗|(ν) and θ_D(ν) curves to verify d|D⃗|/d ln ν<0 and TPR-induced phase terms.
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env to test environmental dependence of B_leak, β_Dγ, and correlation strength.
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce the difference tables on new systems to evaluate extrapolation and falsifiability.
