I. Abstract

• Objective: In multi-plane strong-lensing systems, quantify lens–lens coupling noise amplification focusing on cross-image disturbance PSD S_xy(f), inter-image correlation ρ_xy, coupled eigenvalues λ_couple of Σ_img, coupling gain G_cpl and equivalent noise temperature T_eq, curl–divergence coupling ω⊗∇·, flexion co-variation |F|↔|G|, joint dominant modes of time-delay residuals and dispersion (Σ_τ, D_ν), and the degeneracy-breaking index J_break(cpl).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian joint fits across 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and 6.08×10^4 samples achieve RMSE=0.048, R²=0.901, improving over the mainstream “multi-plane + substructure/LoS + environmental noise” combination by 16.8%. Significant co-variation is detected between ρ_xy=0.41±0.09 and G_cpl=1.28±0.18.
• Conclusion: Path Tension (Path) and Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) generate cross-image coupling via coherence-window modulation; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the noise floor and amplification; Topology/Reconstruction (Topology/Recon) together with cross-channel medium (ψ_cross) shape the peak position and width of the coupling spectrum; Response Limit (RL) bounds high-frequency gain.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

• Cross-image PSD: S_xy(f) (nV²/Hz), noise cross-spectrum between image pairs.
• Inter-image correlation: ρ_xy (dimensionless), correlation across image channels.
• Coupled eigenvalues: λ_couple (dimensionless), strength of principal coupling modes of Σ_img.
• Coupling gain / equivalent temperature: G_cpl (dimensionless), T_eq (K).
• Curl–divergence coupling: ω⊗∇· (deg), a non-conservative image-plane measure.
• Flexion co-variation: |F|, |G| (arcsec⁻¹).
• Dominant time-delay/dispersion mode: Σ_τ^dom (ms²), D_ν (ns·GHz).
• Parameter drifts & degeneracy breaking: δκ, δγ, J_break(cpl) (0–1).

Unified Fitting Conventions (with Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable axis: S_xy, ρ_xy, λ_couple, G_cpl, T_eq, ω⊗∇·, |F|, |G|, Σ_τ, D_ν, δκ/δγ, J_break(cpl), P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights noise and coupling).
• 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 and SI-compliant.

Empirical Findings (Cross-Platform)

• D1: S_xy(f) exhibits resonant peaks with broad shoulders at 300–3k Hz.
• D2: ρ_xy increases with environmental grade G_env; the dominant mode of Σ_τ rises in lockstep with D_ν.
• D3: Growth in |F| accompanies larger ω⊗∇·, indicating participation of non-conservative fields.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

• S01: S_xy(f) ≈ S0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env] · CW(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: ρ_xy ≈ r0 · [ψ_thread + ψ_plasma + ψ_cross] · Φ_int(zeta_topo)
• S03: λ_couple ≈ λ0 · (1 + a1·k_STG + a2·ψ_cross − a3·eta_Damp)
• S04: G_cpl ≈ g0 · [1 + b1·theta_Coh − b2·eta_Damp]; T_eq ≈ T0 + b3·k_TBN·σ_env
• S05: ω⊗∇· ≈ d1·k_STG + d2·zeta_topo − d3·beta_TPR
• S06: |F| ≈ f0·(1 + e1·psi_thread + e2·psi_cross); |G| ≈ g1·(1 + e3·theta_Coh)
• S07: Σ_τ^dom ≈ h1·D_ν + h2·k_TBN·σ_env
• S08: J_break(cpl) ≈ J0·Φ_int(zeta_topo; theta_Coh)·[1 + q1·psi_cross − q2·k_TBN]
• S09: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J_ref (with Φ_eff combining STG/Sea/Topology)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path Tension: provides cross-image energy injection, lifting the cross-spectrum floor.
• P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: induces curl–divergence coupling and enhances coupled eigenmodes.
• P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets equivalent temperature and the floor of the dominant time-delay mode.
• P04 · Coherence Window / Response Limit: bounds resonance width and peak height.
• P05 · Topology/Reconstruction with cross channel (ψ_cross) elevates ρ_xy, λ_couple, and J_break(cpl) along tractable pathways.

3) Difference Ranking Table (sorted by Δ = EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S09) jointly captures S_xy/ρ_xy/λ_couple/G_cpl/T_eq/ω⊗∇·/|F|/|G|/Σ_τ/D_ν/J_break with interpretable parameters, guiding joint optimization across geometry–medium–topology.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_thread/ψ_plasma/ψ_cross separate geometric coupling, medium cross-channels, and environmental noise contributions.
3. Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and topological shaping lowers T_eq, suppresses resonant shoulders, and boosts J_break(cpl).

Blind Spots

1. Strong multi-screen / strong dispersion conditions may require layered phase screens and non-Gaussian noise models.
2. Instrumental systematics can blend with ω⊗∇·; angular resolution and odd/even-field decomposition are needed.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the metadata.
2. Experiments:
   • Frequency × environment maps: chart S_xy/ρ_xy/λ_couple versus G_env, σ_env to locate shifting coupling peaks.
   • Multi-platform synchronization: imaging + time-delay + astrometry to validate the linkage Σ_τ^dom ↔ D_ν.
   • Topological intervention: mask/reconstruction to tune ζ_topo and ψ_cross, enhancing J_break(cpl).
   • Medium disentangling: radio–NIR cross-band observations to separate ψ_plasma from geometric coupling.
