I. Abstract

Objective: Within a joint framework of RM grids, polarized intensity, and broadband polarimetry, identify and fit intergalactic magnetized ribbon anomalies: jointly fit A_RM/W_RM/C_RM, P_I/φ_pol, Δψ, D(ν)/S_RM, α_syn/f_order, ε_fg/I_grid, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 59 conditions, and 7.36×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.910, reducing RMSE by 17.6% versus a mainstream combination of turbulent dynamo + shock-compressed sheets + foreground subtraction; representative estimates are A_RM=23.6±5.2 rad m^-2, W_RM=1.9°±0.5°, Δψ=14.9°±3.8°, α_syn=-0.89±0.07, f_order=0.37±0.09.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

RM ribbon amplitude/width/contrast: A_RM, W_RM, C_RM.
Polarization ribbons: continuity and undulation of polarized intensity P_I and angle streaks φ_pol.
Orientation vs. shear: ribbon orientation ψ_rib and its offset Δψ to cosmic-web shear axis ψ_shear.
Band depolarization & structure function: D(ν), S_RM(ℓ) (1° scale statistic).
Synchrotron spectrum & order: α_syn (spectral index), f_order (ordered-field fraction).
Foreground residual & consistency: ε_fg (foreground subtraction residual), I_grid (RM-grid consistency).

Unified Fitting Conventions (with Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: A_RM, W_RM, C_RM, P_I, φ_pol, Δψ, D(ν), S_RM(ℓ), α_syn, f_order, ε_fg, I_grid, J_break(ribbon), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights tensor magnetic field, electron density, and geometric topology).
Path & measure: EM phase/polarization propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and RM structural statistics; all formulae are plain text with SI units.

Empirical Findings (Cross-Platform)

A1: Large-scale ribbons co-appear in RM and P_I maps with small-angle offset to shear (Δψ≈10–20°).
A2: Low-frequency depolarization D(ν) strengthens with S_RM(ℓ), indicating anisotropic turbulence.
A3: Steeper α_syn with lower f_order co-exist, showing competition between ordered and random fields.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

S01: A_RM ≈ A0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
S02: W_RM ≈ w0 · [1 − a1·eta_Damp + a2·theta_Coh], C_RM ≈ c0 · Φ_int(zeta_topo; psi_order)
S03: Δψ ≈ b1·k_STG + b2·zeta_topo − b3·beta_TPR
S04: D(ν) ≈ d0 · exp(−d1·theta_Coh) + d2·k_TBN·σ_env; S_RM(ℓ) ≈ s0 · ℓ^β(psi_order)
S05: α_syn ≈ α0 − e1·psi_order + e2·eta_Damp; f_order ≈ f0 · (theta_Coh − e3·k_TBN)
S06: ε_fg ≈ g0 · (psi_fg + k_TBN·σ_env); I_grid ≈ I0 · (1 − g1·psi_fg + g2·theta_Coh)
S07: J_break(ribbon) ≈ J0 · Φ_int(zeta_topo; theta_Coh) · [1 + q1·psi_web − q2·k_TBN]
S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J_ref (with Φ_eff combining STG/Sea/Topology)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path Tension: boosts RM and PI ribbon contrast.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: induces systematic misalignment to the shear axis (Δψ).
P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets depolarization/foreground floors and suppresses ordering.
P04 · Coherence Window / Response Limit: bounds achievable ribbon width and spectral features.
P05 · Topology/Reconstruction: modulates ribbon morphology and raises J_break(ribbon).

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) jointly captures A_RM/W_RM/C_RM, P_I/φ_pol, Δψ, D(ν)/S_RM, α_syn/f_order, ε_fg/I_grid, J_break(ribbon) with interpretable parameters, guiding joint constraints on magnetic fields, electron density, and topology.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/psi_order/psi_fg/psi_web disentangle geometric tensors, ordered/random fields, and foreground systematics.
Engineering utility: optimizing foreground separation, band allocation, and ribbon tracking reduces ε_fg, elevates I_grid, and increases J_break(ribbon).

Blind Spots

Strongly anisotropic turbulence and multi-screen Faraday rotation require layered RM synthesis and non-Gaussian priors.
RFI/system-temperature drift may mix with D(ν), necessitating stringent intra-/inter-band cross-calibration.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the JSON.
Experiments:
- Frequency × angular-scale diagrams: jointly map D(ν) and S_RM(ℓ) to separate coherence windows from turbulent slopes.
- Ribbon–shear alignment statistics: cross-sky statistics of Δψ to test STG-induced small-angle offsets.
- Foreground peeling: multi-template/component separation to suppress ε_fg and raise I_grid.
- Simulation comparison: same-protocol fits against MHD post-processed RM/PI maps to evaluate ΔRMSE and falsification margins.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

Leave-one-out: key parameter variation < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Layered robustness: G_env↑ → D(ν) and S_RM(ℓ) rise, KS_p drops; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ confidence.
Noise stress test: adding 5% residual RFI and thermal drift elevates ε_fg and lowers I_grid; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.048; blind-region tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
