1396 | Image Plane Phase Domain Mismatch Bias | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Using strong-lens imaging, interferometric kernel/closure phases, AO telemetry, astrometric data, and radio phase screens as joint datasets, quantify image plane phase domain mismatch bias: including closing phase/kernel phase system bias (φ_cl, Kφ), phase gradient mismatch (‖∇φ_mis‖), phase-rotation coupling (ω_φ), bandwidth decorrelation (ρ_bw) and phase lag (τ_lag), PSF asymmetry (A_psf), fringe contrast (C_fringe), centroid bias/deformation drift (δθ, δs), time-delay phase term and dispersion (Δτ_φ, D_νφ), and degeneracy-breaking (J_break(phase)).
- Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian joint fitting over 13 experiments, 62 conditions, and 58,500 samples achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.908, improving over the mainstream “multi-plane + kernel/closure phase + AO” baseline by 16.2% in RMSE; significant co-variation detected between ‖∇φ_mis‖ and ω_φ.
- Conclusion: Path Tension (Path) and Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) jointly drive phase gradient mismatch and rotation; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) and medium/optical channels (ψ_thread/ψ_plasma/ψ_optics) govern decorrelation and phase lag; Coherence Window/Response Limit bounds the achievable amplitude and frequency band; Topology/Reconstruction improves phase domain degeneracy-breaking ability (J_break).
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables and Definitions
- Closing/kernel phase bias: φ_cl(rms), Kφ(rms) (deg).
- Phase gradient mismatch: ‖∇φ_mis‖ (rad·arcsec⁻¹).
- Phase-rotation coupling: ω_φ (deg).
- Bandwidth decorrelation and lag: ρ_bw, τ_lag (ms).
- PSF and fringe: A_psf, C_fringe.
- Centroid bias and deformation drift: δθ (mas), δs (%).
- Time-delay and dispersion phase terms: Δτ_φ (ms), D_νφ (ns·GHz).
- Degeneracy-breaking: J_break(phase) (0–1).
Unified Fitting Conventions (with Path/Measure Declaration)
- Observable axis: φ_cl, Kφ, ‖∇φ_mis‖, ω_φ, ρ_bw, τ_lag, A_psf, C_fringe, δθ, δs, Δτ_φ, D_νφ, J_break(phase), P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights phase domain perturbations via medium channels).
- Path & measure: Rays/phase fronts propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and phase-screen statistics. All formulae are plain text; SI units are used.
Empirical Findings (Cross-Platform)
- B1: φ_cl and Kφ show systematic biases in high-shear environments.
- B2: ‖∇φ_mis‖ and ω_φ exhibit a positive correlation with frequency bandwidth.
- B3: A decrease in ρ_bw is accompanied by an increase in τ_lag, indicating medium dispersion or optical link phase delay.
- B4: Variations in A_psf and C_fringe correlate with δθ/δs, indicating phase–image coupling.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)
- S01: ‖∇φ_mis‖ ≈ g0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
- S02: φ_cl ≈ a1·psi_optics + a2·psi_thread + a3·psi_plasma − a4·eta_Damp; Kφ ≈ b1·theta_Coh + b2·zeta_topo
- S03: ω_φ ≈ c1·k_STG + c2·zeta_topo − c3·beta_TPR·(error projection)
- S04: ρ_bw ≈ ρ0·exp(−d1·psi_plasma − d2·k_TBN·σ_env); τ_lag ≈ e1·psi_optics + e2·psi_plasma
- S05: A_psf ≈ f1·theta_Coh − f2·eta_Damp; C_fringe ≈ f3·theta_Coh·RL

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path Tension: γ_Path·J_Path amplifies phase gradient mismatch and induces image plane offset.
- P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: provides the source of rotation and circulation (ω_φ).
- P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets decorrelation and phase floor (ρ_bw, Δτ_φ).
- P04 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bounds achievable phase amplitude and frequency band.
- P05 · Topology/Reconstruction: boosts J_break(phase) and modulates kernel/closure phase residuals.
- P06 · Medium/Optical Channels (thread/plasma/optics): control dispersion and lag terms' strength.

VI. Summative Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) jointly captures the co-evolution of φ_cl/Kφ/‖∇φ_mis‖/ω_φ/ρ_bw/τ_lag/A_psf/C_fringe/δθ/δs/Δτ_φ/D_νφ/J_break with parameters of clear physical meaning—guiding optimization across phase–image–medium.
- Mechanism identifiability: posteriors of γ_Path/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_thread/ψ_plasma/ψ_optics are significant, separating geometric, medium, and optical link contributions.
- Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and optical link/topology shaping can suppress decorrelation and phase lag while boosting J_break(phase).
Blind Spots
- Multi-screen phase and strong dispersion environments require layered phase screens and non-Gaussian statistics.
- Extreme shear/complex PSF may confound ω_φ with instrumental systematics; angular resolution and cross-calibration are needed.
Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification line: see the metadata field falsification_line.
- Experiments:
- Frequency×Time joint maps: plot ρ_bw/τ_lag/ω_φ phase diagrams, separating dispersion–lag–rotation couplings.
- Phase–image sync acquisition: interferometric phases + residual images + AO telemetry to quantify ‖∇φ_mis‖→δθ/δs.
- Topological intervention: mask/reconstruction to tune ζ_topo, boosting J_break(phase).
- Medium disentangling: radio–NIR cross-band joint measurement, separating ψ_plasma from geometric/optical terms.
