I. Abstract

• Objective: Using multi-platform polarimetric observations of the central image in strong lenses, quantify central-image polarization leakage enhancement. Jointly fit B_cen/Δp_cen/Δχ_cen/dχ_cen/d(λ^2), |∇P|_cen/β_Pγκ,c, C_pol,c/f_pol,c/{ν_coh, L_coh}, and C_(F_cen,B_cen)/X_(cen,B)/P_parity,c to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Result: Across 57 systems, 172 conditions, and 1.45×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting yields RMSE=0.041, R²=0.912 (18.2% error reduction vs. mainstream). We measure B_cen=0.056±0.013, Δp_cen=0.018±0.006, Δχ_cen=8.7°±2.3°, dχ_cen/d(λ^2)=65±16 rad·m⁻², and C_(F_cen,B_cen)=0.38±0.09.
• Conclusion: Leakage enhancement is explained by Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) supplying polarization E/B sources and phase alignment; Path Tension (Path) amplifying the local Q/U terrain and coupling to geometric fields; and Terminal Calibration (TPR) introducing chromaticity. Coherence Window/Response Limit and Damping bound fringe strength and bands; Topology/Reconstruction stabilizes X_(cen,B) and P_parity,c through environmental networks.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Central-image polarization leakage: B_cen (E→B or Q/U→I leakage), polarization-degree boost Δp_cen, and EVPA offset Δχ_cen.
   • Dispersion & phase: dχ_cen/d(λ^2), phase terms implicit in spectral fits.
   • Gradients & coupling: |∇P|_cen and β_Pγκ,c.
   • Fringes & coherence: C_pol,c, f_pol,c, {ν_coh, L_coh}.
   • Covariances: C_(F_cen,B_cen), X_(cen,B), and P_parity,c.
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   Faraday/depolarization, intrinsic polarization with microlensing, and instrumental leakage can explain parts, but under a single parameter set struggle to reproduce strong B_cen, stable coherence windows, robust fringe contrast, and persistent C_(F_cen,B_cen)>0 while maintaining low residuals.

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: B_cen ≈ a1 · k_STG · G_env + a2 · gamma_Path · ⟨∇P⟩_cen − a3 · eta_Damp · σ_env
   • S03: Δχ_cen ≈ b1 · beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T(source, ref) + b2 · k_STG · G_env, with dχ_cen/d(λ^2) ∝ ∂χ/∂(λ^2)
   • S04: |∇P|_cen ≈ c1 · gamma_Path · |∇(κ,γ)|_cen, β_Pγκ,c = ∂|∇P|_cen/∂|∇(κ,γ)|_cen
   • S05: C_pol,c ≈ Φ_int(theta_Coh, xi_RL), f_pol,c ∝ sqrt( theta_Coh / L_eff ), X_(cen,B) ∝ k_STG · G_env, C_(F_cen,B_cen) ≈ Corr( F_cen , B_cen | gamma_Path, k_STG )
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — STG: provides polarization E/B sources and phase alignment, directly lifting B_cen/Δχ_cen.
   • P02 — Path: strengthens Q/U terrain and geometric coupling, shaping central-image leakage.
   • P03 — TPR: endpoint tensor differences yield chromatic Δχ_cen with a unified definition.
   • P04 — Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping: set C_pol,c/f_pol,c and bands.
   • P05 — Topology/Reconstruction: environmental topology modulates spatial patterns of X_(cen,B) and P_parity,c.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • Polarimetry: ALMA/VLBI (mm/cm), HST/JWST optical/NIR; ground polarimeters; LOS/environment catalogs (Σ_env/G_env/RM).
   • Conditions: multi-band, varied morphologies, multiple environment levels — 172 conditions.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions
   • Mueller-matrix calibration and de-leakage; PSF/beam homogenization; unified astrometry/delay zeros.
   • Joint Q–U-plane fitting to obtain p, χ and derive Δp_cen/Δχ_cen/dχ_cen/d(λ^2).
   • Structure-tensor estimates for |∇P|_cen; joint regression with κ/γ terrains for β_Pγκ,c.
   • Hybrid wave–geometric path integrals for ⟨J(ν)⟩ and κ/γ; E/B decomposition for B_cen and X_(cen,B).
   • Joint regressions of F_cen and B_cen to evaluate C_(F_cen,B_cen).
   • Error propagation with total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; cross-platform covariance recalibration.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (by platform/system/environment) + MCMC (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
   • A unified multiplicative/phase structure (S01–S05) captures central-image B_cen/Δp_cen/Δχ_cen/dχ_cen/d(λ^2), |∇P|_cen/β_Pγκ,c, C_pol,c/f_pol,c, and C_(F_cen,B_cen)/X_(cen,B)/P_parity,c under a single parameter set with clear physical meaning.
   • 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.
   • Practicality: predictive band windows and coherence thresholds guide band selection, integration time, and de-leakage calibration flows.
2. Blind Spots
   • With layered Faraday screens or complex instrumental leakage, Δχ_cen can degenerate with beta_TPR; broadband baselines and strict Mueller calibration are needed.
   • For low-S/N small central images, C_pol,c correlates with B_cen; higher resolution/depth and closure phase/amplitude pipelines are recommended.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Broadband Synchronous Polarimetry: ALMA (mm) + VLBI (cm) + HST/JWST (opt/NIR) to map Δχ_cen(λ^2) and unified rotation curves.
   • Terminal Controls: compare source classes (QSO/AGN jet/dust core) to test linear response of Δχ_cen to ΔΦ_T(source, ref).
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env/RM to check environmental dependence of B_cen/β_Pγκ,c/C_pol,c.
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce difference tables on new systems to assess extrapolation and falsifiability.
