I. Abstract

Objective: Under a multi-platform framework of Langmuir/emissive probes, fast E/B sensors, high-speed imaging, LIF, and environmental sensing, we fit plasma hole bead-chain clustering; we quantify Λ_bead/P(d), C_bead/L_chain/ρ_bead, Δφ_DL/E_sheath, U_bead/S_EB, J_th/E_th/ΔJ_hys, M_s/Π_DL, and the energy residual ε_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, 63 conditions, and (7.2\times10^4) samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting attains RMSE=0.045, R²=0.908, improving error by 15.8% over a “BGK + ion-acoustic chains + double layer + NLS” composite; we obtain Λ_bead=7.4±1.1 mm, C_bead=0.63±0.07, ρ_bead=112±18 m^-1, Δφ_DL=18.6±3.4 V, U_bead=920±150 m/s, E_th=95±12 V/m, ΔJ_hys=0.18±0.05 A·m^-2, M_s=1.30±0.20, Π_DL=0.71±0.09, ε_E=3.7±1.0%.
Conclusion: The bead clustering arises from multiplicative amplification by Path Tension and Sea Coupling acting on the hole–double-layer–wavepacket channels ψ_bead/ψ_DL; STG imposes cross-scale bias that couples Λ_bead with S_EB and elevates Δφ_DL; TBN sets threshold and hysteresis jitter; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap bead contrast and drift speed; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulate the covariance of Π_DL and ε_E via current-closure/branching networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Geometry & statistics: bead spacing Λ_bead; size distribution P(d) ∝ d^(−τ)·exp(−d/d_c); line density ρ_bead; chain length L_chain; contrast C_bead≡(I_max−I_min)/I_max.
Potential & drift: double-layer drop Δφ_DL, sheath field E_sheath; drift speed U_bead; vortex parameter S_EB≡|E×B|/B^2.
Threshold & hysteresis: onsets J_th/E_th and width ΔJ_hys.
Acoustic & structure: ion-acoustic Mach M_s; double-layer probability Π_DL; energy residual ε_E≡|P_in−P_stored−P_loss|/P_in.

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

Observable axis: Λ_bead,P(d),C_bead,L_chain,ρ_bead,Δφ_DL,E_sheath,U_bead,S_EB,J_th/E_th,ΔJ_hys,M_s,Π_DL,ε_E,P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_bead/ψ_DL/ψ_env).
Path & measure: charge/wavepacket fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping uses ∫ J·E dℓ and ∫ (ε_0 E^2 + n_e k_B T_e) dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks, SI-compliant.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

Above threshold, Λ_bead anticorrelates with S_EB, while C_bead and Δφ_DL rise; a clear return-path ΔJ_hys appears.
For M_s>1, both Π_DL and ρ_bead increase, forming a “bead–double-layer” synergy band.
High-frequency field envelope gain covaries with drift U_bead, indicating envelope-modulation driving.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: ρ_bead = ρ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_bead − k_TBN·ψ_env] · Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
S02: Λ_bead = Λ0 · [1 − a1·k_STG − a2·γ_Path·J_Path + a3·eta_Damp]
S03: Δφ_DL = φ0 · [b1·ψ_DL + b2·k_STG − b3·eta_Damp] · Ψ(theta_Coh, xi_RL)
S04: U_bead ≈ |E×B|/B^2 · Ψ(theta_Coh) · [1 − c1·eta_Damp], S_EB ≡ |E×B|/B^2
S05: C_bead = C0 · [d1·k_SC + d2·k_STG − d3·psi_env]
S06: E_th = E0 · [1 − e1·theta_Coh + e2·k_TBN·psi_env], ΔJ_hys ∝ k_TBN·psi_env
S07: ε_E = G(eta_Damp, theta_Coh; ψ_bead, ψ_DL); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_q · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC strengthen hole skeletons and bead generation, raising ρ_bead/Δφ_DL/C_bead and compressing Λ_bead.
P02 · STG / TBN: k_STG sets cross-scale bias, driving envelope modulation and raising thresholds; k_TBN governs jitter bandwidth of E_th/ΔJ_hys.
P03 · Coherence/RL/damping: theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp cap contrast, drift speed, and energy residual.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo reshapes current-closure/branching networks, modulating covariance of Π_DL and ε_E.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly captures the co-evolution of Λ_bead/P(d), C_bead/L_chain/ρ_bead, Δφ_DL/E_sheath, U_bead/S_EB, J_th/E_th/ΔJ_hys, and M_s/Π_DL/ε_E; parameters have clear physical meaning and guide threshold gating, sheath/double-layer engineering, and imaging diagnostics.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate path enhancement, cross-scale bias, threshold noise, and topological closure contributions.
Engineering utility: edge-field shaping, pulse-spectrum control, and electrode-geometry optimization tune Λ_bead, C_bead, E_th, stabilize Π_DL, and reduce ε_E.

Blind spots

Concurrent strong nonlinearity (holes + double layers + envelope modulation) or multi-chain coupling may induce non-Markov memory kernels and non-local conductivity, requiring fractional kernels and generalized response.
In high-voltage/dusty regimes, charged particulates modify E_sheath/Δφ_DL scaling and the tail of P(d), necessitating concurrent size-spectrum diagnostics.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
Experiments:
- E×B–J maps: 2-D scans of Λ_bead, C_bead, Π_DL to locate thresholds and hysteresis bands.
- Double-layer gating: adjust ψ_DL via edge electrodes/meshes; quantify linear–sublinear responses of Δφ_DL ↔ C_bead/U_bead.
- Synchronized measurements: high-speed imaging + probes + LIF to verify the hard link S_EB ↔ Λ_bead.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal isolation to lower ψ_env; measure k_TBN slope on ΔJ_hys.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)

Indices: Λ_bead, P(d), C_bead, L_chain, ρ_bead, Δφ_DL, E_sheath, U_bead, S_EB, J_th/E_th, ΔJ_hys, M_s, Π_DL, ε_E (see Section II). SI units throughout.
Details:
- Bead detection: multiscale morphology + Canny edges + region growing to extract bead rows; shortest-path matching for Λ_bead/ρ_bead.
- Potential-drop inversion: emissive-probe temperature-drift calibration for Δφ_DL; resample synchronously with E(t).
- Threshold/hysteresis: treat J/E as the variable; second-derivative + change-point to identify J_th/E_th and ΔJ_hys.
- Uncertainty: propagate via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical priors share across platforms/geometries.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-group-out: parameter changes < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: increasing ψ_env → higher ΔJ_hys and lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 holds at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration raises ψ_DL 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%.
