I. Abstract

Objective: Near strong-lens fold criticals, deliver a unified fit of fold-image pair anomaly bias, covering R_fold, the Δτ_AB–s_AB scaling, Δμ_parity/Π_parity, |F|/|G|–κ_caustic co-variation, δθ_tan/δθ_rad/Δφ, the fold residual ε_fold, and J_break(fold).
Key Results: With 13 experiments, 63 conditions, and 6.2×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting yields RMSE=0.046, R²=0.908, improving the mainstream “smooth fold relation + multi-plane + subhalo/LoS + microlensing” combination by 17.2%; a systematic positive bias R_fold=0.118±0.032 and a parity imbalance Δμ_parity=0.27±0.07 are detected.
Conclusion: Path Tension (Path) and Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), via coherence-window effects, amplify parity asymmetry and flux bias near critical curvature; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the floor for fold residuals; Topology/Reconstruction plus medium/microlensing channels shape κ_caustic and the |F|/|G| co-variation, thereby raising J_break(fold).

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

Fold flux relation: R_fold ≡ (F_+ − F_-)/(F_+ + F_-).
Arrival time–separation scaling: Δτ_AB ∝ s_AB^p (deviation of p from ~2 near criticals quantifies anomaly strength).
Parity magnification & imbalance: Δμ_parity, Π_parity.
Flexion & critical curvature: |F|, |G| and κ_caustic.
Shifts & angles: δθ_tan, δθ_rad, Δφ.
Fold residual & degeneracy breaking: ε_fold, J_break(fold) (0–1).

Unified Fitting Conventions (with Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: R_fold, Δτ_AB, s_AB, Δμ_parity, Π_parity, |F|, |G|, κ_caustic, δθ_tan, δθ_rad, Δφ, ε_fold, J_break(fold), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights perturbations near folds).
Path & measure: rays/phase fronts propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping with ∫ J·F dℓ; plain-text formulae; SI units.

Empirical Findings (Cross-Platform)

E1: For many systems with s_AB < 0.25″, R_fold shows a significant positive bias.
E2: The exponent p of Δτ_AB–s_AB deviates from 2 and co-varies with rising |F|.
E3: Δμ_parity and Π_parity increase monotonically in regions of higher κ_caustic.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

S01: R_fold ≈ r0 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·eta_Damp + a4·k_TBN·σ_env
S02: Δτ_AB ≈ τ0 · [1 + b1·theta_Coh − b2·eta_Damp] · s_AB^(2+δp), with δp ≈ c1·|F| + c2·κ_caustic
S03: Δμ_parity ≈ d1·k_STG + d2·zeta_topo + d3·psi_micro; Π_parity ≈ Φ(Δμ_parity; xi_RL)
S04: |F| ≈ f0·[1 + e1·psi_thread + e2·psi_plasma]; |G| ≈ g0·[1 + e3·theta_Coh]
S05: δθ_tan, δθ_rad ≈ H(|F|, κ_caustic; gamma_Path); Δφ ≈ q1·k_STG − q2·beta_TPR
S06: ε_fold ≈ E0 + s1·k_TBN·σ_env − s2·theta_Coh
S07: J_break(fold) ≈ J0·Φ_int(zeta_topo; theta_Coh)·[1 + u1·psi_micro − u2·k_TBN]
S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J_ref (with Φ_eff including STG/Sea/Topology)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path Tension: enlarges parity asymmetry and flux bias near folds.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: distorts the arrival-time surface, shifting exponent p and the angle mismatch Δφ.
P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets the floor of the fold residual ε_fold.
P04 · Coherence Window / Response Limit: bounds the exponent drift and amplitude of Δτ_AB.
P05 · Topology/Reconstruction + Microlensing Channel: reshapes κ_caustic and |F|/|G| co-variation, lifting J_break(fold).

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) jointly captures R_fold/Δτ_AB/Δμ_parity/Π_parity/|F|/|G|/κ_caustic/δθ_tan/δθ_rad/Δφ/ε_fold/J_break(fold), with parameters of clear physical meaning, guiding joint optimization of geometry–medium–topology in the fold neighborhood.
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_micro separate geometric, medium, and microlensing contributions.
Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and critical-curvature shaping suppress ε_fold, stabilize the Δτ_AB scaling, and raise J_break(fold).

Blind Spots

Strong microlensing / multi-screen dispersion may require layered phase screens and non-Gaussian statistics.
Instrumental systematics can mix with δθ and Δφ; angular resolution and odd/even component separation are needed.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the metadata.
Experiments:
- Separation × delay maps: chart exponent drift in Δτ_AB–s_AB with |F|/κ_caustic co-variation.
- Multi-platform sync: imaging + astrometry + time delay to verify the monotonic relation R_fold ↔ Δμ_parity.
- Topology/microlensing intervention: mask/reconstruction and bandpass monitoring to tune ζ_topo, ψ_micro, enhancing J_break(fold).
- Medium disentangling: radio–NIR cross-band observations to isolate ψ_plasma impacts on ε_fold.
