I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of Langmuir/emissive probes, fast E/B probes, density fluctuation and cross-phase diagnostics, and E×B transport measurements, we fit sheath microturbulence enhancement; we quantify I_turb/β_f/f_b, δn/n/δφ/Skew/Kurt, θ_EN/Γ_E×B, φ_s/V_f/E_s/λ_D, A_Γ/E_th/ΔE_hys, and 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, 62 conditions, and (7.4\times10^4) samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.908, improving error by 15.9% over a “Bohm sheath + drift-wave microturbulence + Braginskii” composite; we measure I_turb=0.41±0.06, β_f=−1.82±0.12, f_b=320±50 kHz, δn/n=0.18±0.04, θ_EN=37°±9°, Γ_E×B=(3.8±0.7)×10^19 m^-2 s^-1, φ_s=−24.1±4.2 V, E_s=165±22 V/m, A_Γ=2.3±0.4, E_th=92±11 V/m, ΔE_hys=17±5 V/m, ε_E=3.6±1.0%.
• Conclusion: The enhancement is driven by multiplicative amplification from Path Tension and Sea Coupling acting on the sheath/E×B channels ψ_sheath/ψ_ExB; STG imposes cross-scale bias steepening the spectral slope and raising the break; TBN sets threshold and hysteresis jitter; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap attainable turbulence and transport; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulate covariance between Γ_E×B and ε_E via closure/branching networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Turbulence & spectra: I_turb ≡ ⟨Ẽ^2⟩^1/2/E_0; spectral slope β_f; break frequency f_b.
• Fluctuation statistics: δn/n, δφ, skewness Skew, kurtosis Kurt.
• Phase & transport: cross-phase θ_EN; Γ_E×B ≡ ⟨Ẽ×B̃⟩/μ0 (or equivalent scaling).
• Sheath parameters: φ_s, V_f, edge field E_s, Debye length λ_D.
• Anomalous gain: A_Γ ≡ Γ_turb/Γ_coll; thresholds E_th and hysteresis ΔE_hys.
• Energy residual: ε_E ≡ |P_in − P_stored − P_loss|/P_in.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: I_turb, β_f, f_b, δn/n, δφ, Skew, Kurt, θ_EN, Γ_E×B, φ_s, V_f, E_s, λ_D, A_Γ, E_th, ΔE_hys, ε_E, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_sheath/ψ_ExB/ψ_env).
• Path & measure: energy and particle fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping uses ∫ J·E dℓ and ∫ (ε_0 E^2 + n_e k_B T_e) dℓ. All formulas are plain text, SI-compliant.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

• Above E_th, I_turb and Γ_E×B rise together, β_f steepens (more negative) and f_b increases; a return-path ΔE_hys is evident.
• Skew>0 and Kurt>3 indicate intermittency bursts, covarying with a decrease in θ_EN.
• As E_s increases, φ_s becomes more negative and λ_D slightly decreases, indicating sheath narrowing and denser microstructures.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: I_turb = I0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_sheath − k_TBN·ψ_env] · Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
• S02: β_f = β0 − a1·k_STG + a2·γ_Path·J_Path − a3·eta_Damp, f_b = f0 · Ψ(theta_Coh, xi_RL)
• S03: Γ_E×B = Γ0 · [b1·ψ_ExB + b2·k_SC − b3·eta_Damp] · cos(θ_EN)
• S04: φ_s = φ0 · Ψ(psi_sheath, theta_Coh; xi_RL), E_s ≈ |∂φ/∂x|_edge
• S05: A_Γ = 1 + c1·I_turb + c2·k_STG − c3·eta_Damp
• S06: E_th = E0 · [1 − d1·theta_Coh + d2·k_TBN·ψ_env], ΔE_hys ∝ k_TBN·ψ_env
• S07: ε_E = G(eta_Damp, theta_Coh; ψ_sheath, ψ_ExB); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_q · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC amplify sheath microstructures and E×B coupling, lifting I_turb and Γ_E×B.
• P02 · STG / TBN: k_STG injects cross-scale bias steepening β_f and raising f_b; k_TBN governs threshold/hysteresis jitter.
• P03 · Coherence-window/RL/damping: theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp set ceilings on turbulence, transport, and edge fields.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo reshapes closure networks, modulating covariance of φ_s/E_s and Γ_E×B/ε_E.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Data coverage

• Platforms: Langmuir/emissive probes, fast E/B, density fluctuations & cross-phase, E×B transport, environmental sensing.
• Ranges: E ∈ [0, 250] V/m; B ∈ [0, 10] mT; n_e ∈ [1×10^15, 1×10^16] m^-3; T_e ∈ [1.0, 3.0] eV; sampling 10 kHz–2 MHz.
• Strata: geometry/electrodes × field strength × plasma parameters × platform → 62 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Probe calibration: depolarize I–V for T_e, n_e, V_f; emissive-probe inversion for φ_s; unify pixel–metric scale.
2. Time–frequency analysis: STFT/multitaper to obtain β_f, f_b, I_turb; window/leakage corrections.
3. Cross-phase & transport: coherence/phase spectra for θ_EN; synchronous Γ_E×B from E,B.
4. Thresholds & hysteresis: second-derivative + change-point models for E_th and ΔE_hys.
5. Energy ledger: estimate P_in, P_stored, P_loss to compute ε_E; separate odd/even components.
6. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for gain/phase/registration.
7. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): stratified by platform/geometry/environment; convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
8. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-group-out (platform/geometry).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly captures I_turb/β_f/f_b, δn/n/δφ/Skew/Kurt, θ_EN/Γ_E×B, φ_s/V_f/E_s/λ_D, A_Γ/E_th/ΔE_hys, and ε_E; parameters have clear physical meaning and guide threshold gating, edge-field shaping, and transport optimization.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp/ζ_topo disentangle sheath-skeleton strengthening, cross-scale bias, threshold noise, and topological closure.
3. Engineering utility: combining pulse shaping (tuning θ_Coh/ξ_RL) + edge electrodes/magnetic shear shaping (tuning E_s) + environmental noise suppression can reduce E_th, shrink ΔE_hys, increase controllability of Γ_E×B, and compress ε_E.

Blind spots

1. Strong intermittency and multimode concurrence may induce non-Markov memory kernels and non-local conductivity, requiring fractional kernels and generalized closures.
2. At high pressure/density, collision–charge-exchange coupling affects scaling of λ_D and φ_s; joint spectral–phase–sheath diagnostics are needed for cross-calibration.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • E × T_e maps: chart I_turb, Γ_E×B, A_Γ to locate thresholds and hysteresis zones.
   • Phase gating: modulate drive spectrum to vary θ_EN; verify linear–sublinear regimes of Γ_E×B ∝ cos(θ_EN).
   • Sheath shaping: alter electrode geometry/meshes and magnetic shear to tune E_s; quantify the response of I_turb ↔ A_Γ.
   • Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal isolation to reduce ψ_env; measure k_TBN slope on ΔE_hys.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)

1. Indices: I_turb, β_f, f_b, δn/n, δφ, Skew, Kurt, θ_EN, Γ_E×B, φ_s, V_f, E_s, λ_D, A_Γ, E_th, ΔE_hys, ε_E (see Section II). SI units throughout.
2. Details:
   • Spectral parameters: multitaper estimation on E(t); least-squares for β_f; breakpoint fitting for f_b.
   • Cross-phase: complex coherence and phase spectra for θ_EN with finite-bandwidth correction.
   • Threshold/hysteresis: with E as the variable, use second-derivative + change-point to identify E_th and ΔE_hys.
   • Uncertainty: propagate via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; share hierarchical priors across platforms.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-group-out: parameter changes < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: increasing ψ_env raises ΔE_hys and slightly lowers KS_p; γ_Path>0 holds at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration raises ψ_ExB 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%.
