I. Abstract

• Objective: Using multi-platform polarimetric observations of strong-lens arcs/rings, quantify polarization lensing enhancement. Jointly fit polarization degree and position-angle offsets Δp/Δχ, effective rotation R_eff, image-plane Q/U gradients and the geometric coupling β_Pγκ, polarization fringes C_pol/f_pol with coherence window {ν_coh, L_coh}, and covariance with flux anomalies C_(ΔFR,Pol).
• Key Result: With 60 systems, 178 conditions, and 1.56×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting gives RMSE=0.041, R²=0.911 (18.1% improvement vs. mainstream). We measure Δp=0.042±0.010, Δχ=9.6°±2.4°, R_eff=78±18 rad·m⁻², β_Pγκ=0.28±0.07, and C_(ΔFR,Pol)=0.40±0.09.
• Conclusion: Enhancement emerges as Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) supplies polarization/E–B sources and phase alignment; Path Tension (Path) imprints multi-path phase differences coupled to Q/U gradients; Terminal Calibration (TPR) introduces chromaticity. Coherence Window/Response Limit and Damping bound amplitude and band; Topology/Reconstruction with the environment shapes C_pol/f_pol and B_pol.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Polarization and angle: p = √(Q^2+U^2)/I, χ = ½ arctan(U/Q); deviations Δp, Δχ vs. geometric/Faraday baselines.
   • Dispersion & rotation: dχ/d(λ^2) and R_eff.
   • Gradients & coupling: |∇P| and β_Pγκ (regression slope vs. κ, γ).
   • Fringes & coherence: C_pol, f_pol, {ν_coh, L_coh}; E/B leakage B_pol.
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   Faraday rotation, dust dichroism, microlensing, and instrument leakage explain fragments but struggle—under a single parameter set—to reproduce sizable Δp/Δχ, stable coherence windows, strong fringe contrast, and persistent C_(ΔFR,Pol)>0 without heavy systematics tuning.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equations (plain text; path & measure declared: gamma(ell), d ell)
   • S01: T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell ), n_eff = n_0 · [ 1 + gamma_Path · J(ν) ], with J = ∫_gamma ( ∇T(ν) · d ell ) / J0
   • S02: Δp ≈ a1 · k_STG · G_env + a2 · gamma_Path · ⟨J⟩ − a3 · eta_Damp · σ_env
   • S03: Δχ ≈ b1 · beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T(source,ref) + b2 · k_STG · G_env; R_eff ∝ ∂χ/∂(λ^2)
   • S04: |∇P| ≈ c1 · gamma_Path · |∇κ,∇γ|, with β_Pγκ = ∂|∇P|/∂|∇(κ,γ)|
   • S05: C_pol ≈ Φ_int(theta_Coh, xi_RL); f_pol ∝ sqrt( theta_Coh / L_eff ); B_pol ∝ k_STG · G_env
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — STG: generates polarization/E–B sources and environmental phase alignment, raising Δp/Δχ/B_pol.
   • P02 — Path: path-integrated tension amplifies Q/U terrain following κ/γ.
   • P03 — TPR: endpoint tensor difference unifies chromatic Δχ and R_eff.
   • P04 — Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping: set C_pol/f_pol, ν_coh/L_coh, and upper bounds.
   • P05 — Topology/Recon: environmental topology sculpts spatial patterns of fringes and leakage.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • ALMA/VLBI polarimetry (mm/cm), HST/JWST optical/NIR polarimetric imaging, and ground polarimeters; LOS/environment catalogs (Σ_env/G_env, rotation metric R_M).
   • Conditions: multi-band, diverse morphologies, multiple environment levels—178 conditions.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions
   • De-leakage and Mueller-matrix calibration; PSF/beam homogenization; unified delay/astrometry zeros.
   • Joint Q–U-plane fits to derive p, χ, Δp, Δχ, R_eff; compute |∇P| and β_Pγκ.
   • Hybrid wave–geometric path integrals for ⟨J(ν)⟩ and κ/γ terrains; E/B decomposition for B_pol and X_(pol,B).
   • Error propagation: 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 (bucketed by system/band/environment).

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative/phase structure (S01–S05) jointly models Δp/Δχ/R_eff, |∇P|/β_Pγκ, C_pol/f_pol, and B_pol/C_(ΔFR,Pol) with physically interpretable parameters.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for k_STG/gamma_Path/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp/zeta_topo/psi_env isolate STG, path, terminal-color, and environmental-topology contributions.
   • Practical utility: predictive band and coherence thresholds inform band choice, integration time, and array configurations.
2. Blind Spots
   • With layered Faraday screens or complex instrument leakage, Δχ can degenerate with beta_TPR—broadband baselines and rigorous de-leakage are needed.
   • On low-S/N small arcs, C_pol correlates with B_pol; higher resolution/depth and closure phase/amplitude pipelines are recommended.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Broadband Joint Campaigns: ALMA (mm) + VLBI (cm) + optical/NIR polarimetry to map Δχ(λ^2) and unified R_eff.
   • Terminal Controls: compare source classes (QSO/AGN jet/dust core) to test linear Δχ response to ΔΦ_T(source,ref).
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env/R_M to probe environmental dependence of B_pol, β_Pγκ, and C_pol.
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce difference tables on new systems to validate extrapolation and falsifiability.
