I. Abstract

Objective: In rotating/sheared/magnetically coupled turbulence, perform a unified fit of the upward energy-cascade backflow bias, quantifying the co-variation of R_up, k_up/Δk_up, Δφ_k, p_inertial, χ, Δε, U_th/U_ret, Ω_th/Ω_ret to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use abbreviations: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
Key Results: With 12 experiments, 63 conditions, and 7.0×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting attains RMSE = 0.042, R² = 0.920, improving error by −18.0% versus a K41/KO62 + 2D/rotating inverse-cascade + MHD-closure/LES baseline. Estimates: R_up = 0.27 ± 0.05, k_up = 58 ± 9 m⁻¹, Δk_up = 35 ± 7 m⁻¹, Δφ_k@k_up = −31.0° ± 4.5°, p_inertial = −1.61 ± 0.10, χ = 2.9 ± 0.6, ε_in − ε_d = 0.21 ± 0.07 W·kg⁻1; thresholds U_th = 3.8 ± 0.5 m·s⁻1, Ω_th = 18.5 ± 2.6 rad·s⁻1.
Conclusion: Backflow-band energy return arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling imparting multiplicative bias to injection and cross-mode transfer channels (ψ_inj/ψ_transfer); STG sets directional drifts in co-spectra and phases; TBN fixes band width and flux jitter; Coherence Window/RL bound minimal Δk_up and the roll-off of Δφ_k under strong drive; Topology/Recon reform boundary/lattice networks to reshape the covariance of R_up and Δε.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Energy-flux decomposition: Π(k) = Π_up(k) − Π_down(k), with R_up ≡ Π_up/(Π_up+Π_down).
Backflow-band parameters: k_up (onset wavenumber), Δk_up (bandwidth), Δφ_k (cross-mode phase gap).
Spectra & anisotropy: p_inertial (inertial-range slope), χ ≡ k_⊥/k_∥.
Energy balance: ε_in (injection), ε_d (dissipation), Δε ≡ ε_in − ε_d.
Thresholds & hysteresis: U_th, Ω_th and U_ret, Ω_ret.

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

Observable axis: R_up, k_up, Δk_up, Δφ_k, p_inertial, χ, ε_in, ε_d, Δε, U_th/U_ret, Ω_th/Ω_ret, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for ψ_inj/ψ_transfer/ψ_interface).
Path & measure: energy migrates across modes along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power bookkeeping via ∫ (u·f) dℓ and ∫ (J·E) dℓ; all formulas are plain text in SI units.

Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)

A persistent backflow band with Δφ_k < 0;
Rotation and shear raise R_up while narrowing Δk_up;
Inertial-range slope near −5/3 ~ −3/2, slightly shallower with stronger anisotropy.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: R_up = R0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_transfer − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
S02: k_up ≈ k0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env] − a1·η_Damp·(U/U0) + a2·θ_Coh
S03: Δk_up ≈ Δk0 · [1 − k_SC·ψ_transfer + η_Damp·(Ω/Ω0)]
S04: Δφ_k(k) ≈ −b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·θ_Coh − b3·η_Damp·(k/k0)
S05: Δε ≈ ε_in − ε_d = c1·γ_Path·J_Path + c2·k_SC·ψ_inj − c3·k_TBN·σ_env + c4·zeta_topo

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC boosts the up-transfer channel, elevating R_up and driving energy return.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG induces directional drifts of k_up and Δφ_k; k_TBN sets backflow-band width and flux noise floors.
P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL: constrain minimal Δk_up and the roll-off of Δφ_k; xi_RL limits strong-drive regimes.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: via zeta_topo, boundary/lattice networks reshape co-spectra, modifying the covariance of Δε and R_up.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of R_up, k_up/Δk_up, Δφ_k, p_inertial, χ, Δε, U_th/Ω_th and hysteresis, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for rotation/shear/magnetization windows and boundary engineering.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_inj/ψ_transfer/ψ_interface/ζ_topo separate injection, cross-mode transfer, and boundary contributions.
Engineering usability: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and boundary/lattice shaping stabilizes the backflow band and optimizes the energy-balance gap Δε.

Blind Spots

Strong rotation–shear–anisotropy coupling may require nonlocal closures and fractional-memory kernels;
Under joint MHD effects, R_up can mix with Alfvénic resonances—angle/k-resolved diagnostics are needed for demixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the front-matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D maps: scan U×Ω and U×B to chart R_up, k_up/Δk_up, Δφ_k;
- Boundary/lattice engineering: tune roughness/mesh scale and magnetic inlays to quantify the elasticity of zeta_topo on Δε, R_up;
- Synchronized acquisition: velocity spectral budget + magnetic/electric probes + power metering to hard-link Δε and R_up;
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN impacts on Δφ_k and R_up.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-bucket-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
Tier robustness: G_env↑ → R_up slightly decreases, KS_p drops; significance for γ_Path>0 exceeds 3σ.
Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f and mechanical vibration raises ψ_interface; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means change `< 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5``.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; blind new-condition test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
