I. Abstract

Objective: Under a multi-platform framework (Langmuir probe, ion mobility/drift under E–B, neutral-flow PIV, LIF ion drift, force-balance drag, EM fields), we jointly fit the weakly ionized drag anomaly; we quantify Cd_eff(χ_e,E,B), ΔU(E), β_i, K_in, Σ_P/Σ_H, and Te/ne/χ_e to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First mentions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
Key Results: Across 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and (6.5\times10^4) samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting attains RMSE=0.045, R²=0.907, improving error by 15.2% over an Ambipolar+Hall+Drude composite. For B=5 mT, χ_e≈1.2×10^-4, we obtain Cd_eff=0.87±0.06, ΔU(E_th)=6.2±1.1 m/s, β_i=2.1±0.3, K_in=(1.9±0.3)×10^-15 N·s·m^-3, Σ_P=0.54±0.08 S, Σ_H=0.41±0.07 S, Te=1.8±0.3 eV, ne=3.4±0.6×10^15 m^-3.
Conclusion: The anomaly arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling nonlinearly amplifying ion–neutral momentum exchange channels ψ_ion/ψ_neu, while STG imposes cross-scale bias causing Σ_P/Σ_H to covary with β_i,K_in; TBN sets the jitter of the ΔU threshold; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap Cd_eff; Topology/Recon (current-closure network ζ_topo) controls conductance closure.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Effective drag coefficient: Cd_eff ≡ F_drag / (0.5 ρ_n U_n^2 A).
Ion–neutral slip: ΔU ≡ |U_i − U_n|; threshold E_th with ΔU(E<E_th)≈0.
Hall parameter: β_i ≡ ω_ci / ν_in, where ω_ci = q_i B / m_i and ν_in is ion–neutral collision frequency.
Coupling coefficient: K_in from momentum balance (units N·s·m^-3).
Sheet conductances: Σ_P, Σ_H for Pedersen/Hall.
Plasma parameters: Te, ne, χ_e.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: Cd_eff(χ_e,E,B), ΔU(E), β_i(B), K_in(χ_e,T_n), Σ_P/Σ_H(E,B), Te/ne/χ_e, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_ion/ψ_neu/ψ_edge).
Path & measure: momentum/charge fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/dissipation bookkeeping uses ∫ J·E dℓ and ∫ ρ_n ν_in ΔU^2 dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks, SI-compliant.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

For χ_e ~ 10^-4–10^-3 and B=3–10 mT, Cd_eff strengthens and ΔU exhibits a threshold onset.
Σ_P/Σ_H show a nonlinear knee with increasing β_i, underestimated by Drude scaling.
K_in co-varies with Te at high E, indicating non-standard energy pathways.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: Cd_eff = Cd0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_ion − k_TBN·ψ_edge] · Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
S02: ΔU = μ_rel · (E − E_th)_+ · Ψ(β_i; theta_Coh), where (x)_+ = max(x,0), μ_rel = μ0 · [1 + a1·k_SC − a2·eta_Damp]
S03: β_i = (q_i B / m_i) / ν_in, with ν_in = ν0 · [1 + b1·ψ_neu + b2·ψ_ion]
S04: Σ_P = Σ0 · [1 + c1·k_STG + c2·γ_Path·J_Path], Σ_H = H0 · [1 + d1·k_STG − d2·k_TBN·ψ_edge]
S05: K_in = K0 · [1 + e1·ψ_ion − e2·psi_edge] · RL(ξ; xi_RL); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_m · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC amplify ion–neutral exchange, raising Cd_eff and Σ_P.
P02 · STG / TBN: k_STG sets cross-scale bias, sharpening the Σ_P/Σ_H knee; k_TBN sets E_th jitter.
P03 · Coherence/response/damping: theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp cap attainable ΔU and Cd_eff.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo shapes current-closure networks, controlling covariance among Σ_P/Σ_H and K_in.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of Cd_eff, ΔU(E), β_i/K_in, Σ_P/Σ_H, and Te/ne/χ_e; parameters have clear physical meanings and guide electrode/geometry design, field-strength windows, and energy-injection/noise-mitigation strategies.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate path enhancement, collisional suppression, and closure-topology contributions.
Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of J_Path and ψ_edge, plus edge-field shaping and electrode roughness control, reduces threshold jitter, boosts Σ_P, and stabilizes Cd_eff.

Blind spots

Strong E–B coupling may induce non-Markov memory kernels and non-local conductivity, requiring fractional kernels and generalized response.
In high-voltage/dusty regimes, charged particulates alter ν_in and K_in scaling, requiring concurrent size-spectrum diagnostics.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
Experiments:
- E×B–χ_e maps: 2-D scans plotting Cd_eff, ΔU, Σ_P/Σ_H to identify thresholds and knee bands.
- Edge-field shaping: vary electrode edge radius/mesh to quantify linear response of ψ_edge on E_th and K_in.
- Synchronized platforms: Langmuir + drift + drag rig to verify the hard link ΔU ↔ Cd_eff.
- Environmental suppression: isolate vibration/temperature to reduce ψ_edge; quantify k_TBN slope on threshold jitter.

Indices: Cd_eff, ΔU, β_i, K_in, Σ_P/Σ_H, Te, ne, χ_e (see Section II). SI units throughout.
Details:
- Threshold/change-points for ΔU(E) and Cd_eff(E) via second derivative + change-point detection for E_th.
- Sheet conductances from lateral field/current decomposition (odd/even separation).

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-group-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: increasing χ_e → higher Σ_P and earlier knee; KS_p slightly decreases; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: adding 5% of 1/f drift + mechanical vibration raises ψ_edge; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.049; blind new conditions retain ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
