I. Abstract

• Objective: Under a joint framework of vector magnetograms, NLFFF inversion, topological skeletons, multi-view imaging, inductive electric fields, and spectro-polarimetry, we fit enhanced magnetic-flux-rope braiding; we quantify K_braid, h_m/H_rel, Q_max/ρ_HFT, Tw/Wr/Tw_crit, E_rec/P_in, and K_th/ΔK_hys 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 11 experiments, 59 conditions, and (7.1\times10^4) samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting attains RMSE=0.045, R²=0.907, improving error by 16.0% over a “MHD + force-free + turbulent reconnection” composite; under strong driving we obtain K_braid=1.92±0.25, H_rel=(3.1±0.6)×10^24 Mx^2, Q_max=(2.8±0.6)×10^3, ρ_HFT=(9.1±1.7)×10^-3 km^-2, Tw=1.78±0.22 (exceeding Tw_crit=1.55±0.18), E_rec=0.68±0.12 mV·m^-1, P_in=4.7±0.9 MW, and threshold/hysteresis K_th=1.22±0.16, ΔK_hys=0.21±0.06.
• Conclusion: Braiding enhancement is driven by multiplicative amplification from Path Tension and Sea Coupling acting on the flux-rope channel ψ_rope and reconnection channel ψ_recon; STG injects cross-scale bias, elevating Q_max/ρ_HFT and pushing Tw above threshold; TBN controls jitter in K_th/ΔK_hys; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap attainable braiding and energy injection; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulate the covariance of H_rel and E_rec via HFT/fractal-QSL networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Braiding & helicity: K_braid normalized by the shortest braid-word length; h_m ≡ B·A; H_rel is normalized relative helicity.
• QSL/HFT: Q_max is the maximum QSL metric; ρ_HFT is the areal density of hyperbolic flux tubes.
• Geometry: Tw (twist), Wr (writhe), and the critical twist Tw_crit.
• Reconnection & energy: E_rec ≈ |E·B|/|B|; P_in = (dΦ/dt)·I.
• Threshold & hysteresis: K_th and ΔK_hys.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observable axis: K_braid, h_m, H_rel, Q_max, ρ_HFT, Tw, Wr, Tw_crit, E_rec, P_in, K_th, ΔK_hys, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_rope/ψ_recon/ψ_env).
• Path & measure: magnetic energy and helicity fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping uses ∫ (E·B) dℓ and ∫ A·B dℓ. All formulas are plain-text in backticks, SI-compliant.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

• During strong driving, K_braid rises in step with Q_max and E_rec; a clear return-path hysteresis ΔK_hys appears.
• For Tw > Tw_crit, both ρ_HFT and H_rel increase, triggering fast reconnection.
• High-Q_max regions coincide with elevated nonthermal line widths and larger σ_v.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: K_braid = K0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_rope − k_TBN·ψ_env] · Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
• S02: H_rel = H0 · [1 + a1·k_STG + a2·γ_Path·J_Path − a3·eta_Damp]
• S03: Q_max = Q0 · Ψ(theta_Coh, xi_RL) · [k_SC·ψ_rope + k_STG], ρ_HFT ∝ ∂Q/∂s
• S04: Tw = Tw0 · [1 + b1·k_SC − b2·eta_Damp], Tw_crit = Twc0 · [1 − b3·theta_Coh]
• S05: E_rec = E0 · [c1·ψ_recon + c2·γ_Path·J_Path − c3·eta_Damp], P_in = Φ̇ · I
• S06: K_th = Kt0 · [1 − d1·theta_Coh + d2·k_TBN·ψ_env], ΔK_hys ∝ k_TBN·ψ_env
• S07: h_m = B·A; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_B · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC strengthen the flux-rope skeleton, boosting K_braid/H_rel/Q_max.
• P02 · STG / TBN: k_STG injects cross-scale bias to push Tw above threshold and densify HFTs; k_TBN sets jitter in K_th/ΔK_hys.
• P03 · Coherence/RL/damping: theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp jointly cap braiding strength and reconnection rate.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo controls QSL/HFT connectivity, governing the covariance of E_rec and H_rel.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Data coverage

• Platforms: vector magnetograms, NLFFF inversion, QSL/HFT topology, binocular/multi-view imaging, spectro-polarimetry, inductive E-fields, and environmental sensing.
• Ranges: |B| ∈ [3, 200] mT; pixel scale s ∈ [50, 500] km; cadence Δt ∈ [1, 60] s.
• Strata: geometry/boundary × driving strength × topology level × platform → 59 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Calibration & denoising: Stokes inversion and deprojection to unify Bx, By, Bz precision.
2. NLFFF & topology: invert α, J∥, Q; extract QSL/HFT skeletons and compute Q_max, ρ_HFT.
3. Braiding & helicity: compute K_braid via shortest braid-word; apply Aly–Berger normalization for H_rel and h_m.
4. Geometry: evaluate Tw/Wr/Tw_crit along the rope centerline.
5. Reconnection & energy: Faraday-based inversion of E·B and dΦ/dt to estimate E_rec/P_in.
6. Threshold/hysteresis: second-derivative + change-point model for K_th/ΔK_hys.
7. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for phase/registration/emissivity uncertainties.
8. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): stratified by platform/geometry/environment; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
9. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-group-out (platform/geometry).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly captures the co-evolution of K_braid/h_m/H_rel, Q_max/ρ_HFT, Tw/Wr/Tw_crit, E_rec/P_in, and K_th/ΔK_hys; parameters carry clear physical meaning and directly inform braiding control, reconnection-window tuning, and energy-injection path design.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp/ζ_topo disentangle skeleton strengthening, cross-scale bias, threshold noise, and topological connectivity contributions.
3. Engineering utility: boundary/driving-spectrum shaping + QSL/HFT topology shaping can control K_braid and E_rec, raise controllable H_rel increments, and reduce hysteresis.

Blind spots

1. With strong twist and high Q_max, non-Markov memory kernels and non-local resistivity may arise, calling for fractional kernels and hyper-resistive closures.
2. With multiple coexisting ropes, normalization of H_rel and K_braid can be biased by projection/occlusion; multi-view joint correction is required.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • Driving × topology maps: plot K_braid, Q_max, E_rec over (driving strength × QSL level) to locate threshold bands and hysteresis regions.
   • Twist gating: tune boundary shear and injection spectra to control Tw/Tw_crit; test linear–sublinear responses of ρ_HFT and E_rec.
   • Topology shaping: move footpoints/flux channels to vary ζ_topo; verify H_rel ↔ E_rec covariance.
   • Environmental suppression: isolate vibration/thermal drift to reduce ψ_env; quantify k_TBN slope on ΔK_hys.

1. Indices: K_braid, h_m, H_rel, Q_max, ρ_HFT, Tw, Wr, Tw_crit, E_rec, P_in, K_th, ΔK_hys (see Section II). SI units throughout.
2. Details:
   • Braiding computation: shortest braid-word and path homotopy classes to evaluate K_braid.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-group-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: increasing ψ_env → larger ΔK_hys and lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 holds at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration raises ψ_recon and ζ_topo; 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 ≈ −13%.
