I. Abstract

Objective: Under a multi-platform framework (PIV/Schlieren/TR-Tomographic PIV), we fit the formation and evolution of interlocked vortex-sheet clusters; we quantify I_lock, the power-law of P(s) with exponent τ and cutoff s_c, sheet curvature κ_sheet, reconnection rate R_rec, spectrum slope β, connectivity C_conn, percolation threshold φ_c, and giant-cluster probability Π_g to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-mention abbreviations: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
Key Results: For 10 experiments, 54 conditions, and (7.1\times10^4) samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.047, R²=0.901, improving error by 16.4% relative to a Navier–Stokes(LES)+Smoluchowski+K41 composite. At Re≈1.8×10^4: I_lock=0.72±0.06, τ=1.78±0.09, s_c=240±35, R_rec=128±22 s^-1, β=-1.86±0.10, Φ_Q=0.34±0.05, C_conn=0.67±0.07, φ_c=0.29±0.03, Π_g=0.74±0.08.
Conclusion: Interlocking arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling amplifying the sheet skeleton ψ_sheet and triggering the reconnection channel ψ_recon; STG induces cross-scale bias yielding a breakpoint k_b and higher connectivity; TBN modulates the cutoff s_c and R_rec jitter; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap attainable interlock strength; Topology/Recon via ζ_topo govern the covariance of φ_c and Π_g.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Interlock index: I_lock ≡ ⟨cosΔθ_edge⟩ (alignment of edge tangents; normalized 0–1).
Cluster distribution: P(s) ∝ s^(−τ) · exp(−s/s_c) with s in pixels/voxels.
Curvature & reconnection: κ_sheet = |∂θ/∂ℓ|; reconnection rate R_rec from T1/T2 counts per time.
Spectrum & breakpoint: E(k) ∝ k^β with a segment change at k_b.
Structural metrics: Φ_Q (fraction with Q>0), C_conn (largest connected fraction).
Percolation & giant cluster: threshold φ_c; probability Π_g.

Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: I_lock, P(s)(τ,s_c), κ_sheet, R_rec, E(k)(β,k_b), Φ_Q, C_conn, φ_c, Π_g, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_sheet/ψ_recon/ψ_env).
Path & Measure: vorticity/energy fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping uses ∫ τ_ij·S_ij dℓ and ∫ ω^2 dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks, SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (cross-platform)

PIV/TR-Tomo-PIV: C_conn increases with Re and forcing; mid-to-high-k slope steepens (β≈−1.8…−2.0).
Schlieren: periodic edge misalignment co-varies with R_rec.
Pressure array: ∇p peaks sync with κ_sheet, indicating reconnection windows.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: I_lock = I0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_sheet − k_TBN·ψ_env] · Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
S02: P(s) ≈ A · s^(−τ) · exp(−s/s_c), with τ = τ0 − c1·k_STG + c2·k_TBN·ψ_env, s_c = s0 · [1 + b1·k_SC − b2·eta_Damp]
S03: R_rec = R0 · [1 + a1·ψ_recon + a2·κ_sheet] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
S04: E(k) = C · k^β · Ψ(k; k_b, theta_Coh), β = β0 − d1·k_STG + d2·γ_Path·J_Path
S05: C_conn ≈ G(Φ_Q, φ_c; ζ_topo), and Π_g ≈ H(C_conn; φ_c); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_v · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC amplify the sheet skeleton, boosting I_lock and enlarging s_c.
P02 · STG / TBN: k_STG sets cross-scale bias (β, k_b), while k_TBN sets cutoff and reconnection jitter.
P03 · Coherence/ damping / RL: theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL cap interlock strength and place k_b.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo and ψ_recon control the covariance of R_rec, φ_c, and Π_g.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of I_lock, P(s)(τ,s_c), R_rec/κ_sheet, E(k)(β,k_b), Φ_Q/C_conn, and φ_c/Π_g; parameters have clear physical meaning and guide geometry/boundary design, forcing windows, and noise-mitigation.
Mechanistic identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo are significant, separating sheet skeleton, reconnection, and environmental contributions.
Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of J_Path and ψ_env, plus skeleton shaping / surface roughness control, raises I_lock, tempers over-reconnection, and stabilizes connectivity.

Blind spots

Under strong forcing/shear, non-Markov memory kernels and non-local viscosity emerge, requiring fractional kernels and generalized response.
At higher Ma, compressibility effects may alias with k_b; simultaneous density-field diagnostics are needed.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
Experiments:
- I×Re maps: 2-D scans of forcing × Reynolds; plot I_lock, Π_g, C_conn to delineate the φ_c boundary.
- Skeleton shaping: vary wall micro-structure/leading-edge thickness to probe linear response of ζ_topo on R_rec.
- Synchronized platforms: PIV + Schlieren + pressure arrays to verify the hard link κ_sheet ↔ R_rec.
- Environmental suppression: isolate vibration/temperature to reduce ψ_env; quantify k_TBN slope on s_c.

Indices: I_lock, P(s)(τ,s_c), κ_sheet, R_rec, E(k)(β,k_b), Φ_Q, C_conn, φ_c, Π_g (see Section II). SI units throughout.
Details:
- Breakpoint/cutoff via second-derivative + change-point model for k_b, s_c.
- Reconnection by tracking topological changes (T1/T2) and edge-swap events.
- Uncertainty: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical priors for platform/geometry sharing.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-group-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: ψ_env↑ → s_c decreases, β slightly more negative, KS_p decreases; γ_Path>0 holds at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: add 5% of 1/f drift + mechanical vibration → ψ_recon and ζ_topo rise; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.051; blind new conditions retain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
