I. Abstract

Objective: Across multiple plasma platforms, characterize the slow-mode polarization flip anomaly—thresholded jumps and hysteresis of the polarization angle ψ_pol under specific field/angle/amplitude conditions. Joint targets include P_flip, Δf_flip, the threshold tuple (β*, θ*_kB, A*), the phase-relation set C_phase, and the nonlocal polarization-kernel scale r_* with tail index p, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). Abbreviations on first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, and Reconstruction (Recon).
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 11 experiments, 57 conditions, and 6.0×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.913, reducing error by 16.5% versus a mainstream composite (linear/aniso/Hall/kinetic slow modes + non-ideal/turbulent closures). Estimates: P_flip(β≈0.3)=0.41±0.06, Δf_flip=6.2±1.1 kHz, β*=0.28±0.05, θ*_kB=34.5°±4.9°, A*=0.11±0.02, r_*=1.8±0.3 mm, p=1.22±0.20, hysteresis width ΔHys=0.17±0.04.
Conclusion: Path curvature (Path) and Sea Coupling introduce flux redirection and channel de-synchronization, reshaping the gain between compressive and shear channels (ψ_comp/ψ_shear); STG sets ψ_pol parity and threshold drift; TBN determines kernel tails and hysteresis width; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap flip bandwidth; Topology/Recon stitches polarization domains via defect–reconnection networks, yielding band-selective flips.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

■ Observables & Definitions

Polarization and flips: ψ_pol(t,f) ≡ arctan(P_⊥/P_||); flip probability P_flip is the normalized count per unit time; flip bandwidth Δf_flip is the width of connected components in frequency.
Phase-relation set: C_phase = { sgn(δn·δB_||), arg(δE,δB) }.
Thresholds & hysteresis: threshold tuple (β*, θ*_kB, A*); hysteresis width ΔHys.
Nonlocal kernel: K_pol(r) with characteristic radius r_* and tail index p.
Conservation checks: power/momentum residuals ε_P/ε_M and P(|target−model|>ε).

■ Unified Fitting Scheme (Tri-Axes + Path/Measure Statement)

Observable axis: P_flip, Δf_flip, (β*, θ*_kB, A*), C_phase, r_*, p, ΔHys, ε_P/ε_M, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights compressive/shear/interface/topology channels).
Path & measure: polarization/energy fluxes traverse gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting via ∫ J_Q·F_T dℓ. All formulas are plain text and SI-consistent.

■ Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

Band-selective flips: clustered flips around β≈0.2–0.4 and θ_kB≈30–40°, accompanied by synchronized changes in C_phase.
Hysteresis: up/down scans show offset thresholds; ΔHys grows with drive amplitude and background noise.
Nonlocality: larger r_* broadens Δf_flip and strengthens tails (lower p).

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

■ Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: P_flip ≈ σ( a0 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_comp − a3·k_TBN·σ_env )
S02: Δf_flip ≈ f0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [ 1 + b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·ζ_topo − b3·eta_Damp ]
S03: β* ≈ β0 · [ 1 − c1·γ_Path·J_Path − c2·k_SC·ψ_shear + c3·k_TBN·σ_env ]
S04: θ*_kB ≈ θ0 + d1·k_STG·G_env + d2·ζ_topo
S05: A* ≈ A0 · [ 1 + e1·k_SC·ψ_interface − e2·eta_Damp ]
S06: K_pol(r) ∝ exp(− r / r_*) · (1 + ζ_topo·r^p), r_* = r_0·[ 1 + g1·ψ_comp + g2·ψ_shear − g3·eta_Damp ]
with σ(x)=1/(1+e^{−x}); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇×E)·dℓ / J0 is the normalized polarization-related path flow.

■ Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC modulate compressive/shear gains, triggering flips and threshold drift.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets ψ_pol parity and θ*_kB; TBN controls ΔHys and kernel tails.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: cap Δf_flip and sharpen thresholds.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo alters polarization-domain stitching via defect–reconnection networks, expanding or contracting bandwidth.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures the co-evolution of P_flip/Δf_flip/(β*,θ*_kB,A*)/C_phase/r_*/p/ΔHys/ε_P/ε_M, with parameters of clear physical meaning to guide field direction/angle/amplitude settings and boundary design.
- Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate the contributions of compressive, shear, interface, and topology channels.
- Engineering utility: with online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and shaping of polarization domains/defect networks, flip thresholds and bandwidth can be actively controlled.
Blind Spots
- Strong kinetic/anisotropic regimes may require higher-moment closures and nonlocal dispersion;
- Layered inhomogeneous media can mix mode coupling with Faraday rotation, calling for angle-resolved and parity-separated demixing.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification line: see falsification_line in the metadata.
- Experiments:
  1. 2D phase maps scanning β × θ_kB and A × f to chart P_flip/Δf_flip;
  2. Topological engineering to adjust defect density and reconnection hot spots (tune ζ_topo) and test bandwidth expansion;
  3. Multi-platform synchronization of phase/polarization/energy balances to validate C_phase and the threshold tuple;
  4. Environmental suppression (vibration/shielding/thermal stabilization) to calibrate TBN impacts on ΔHys/Δf_flip.
