I. Abstract

Objective: In the low–mid Knudsen regime under weak nonequilibrium drive, fit the non-Maxwellian rate-tail anomaly by jointly identifying F_tail, κ/q, G_k, ΔE_a, p_tail(E), T_x, K_s/J_s, τ_rel/J_ret to evaluate 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: Across 12 experiments, 64 conditions, and 7.0×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.919, improving error by 17.9% against MB+κ/Tsallis+BGK+Knudsen baselines. At 300 K: F_tail(v>2.5v_th)=0.084±0.015, κ=3.6±0.4 / q=1.11±0.03, G_k=1.27±0.09, ΔE_a=−12.5±3.6 meV, K_s=1.18±0.10, τ_rel=2.8±0.4 ms.
Conclusion: Tail anomalies arise from Path Tension and Sea Coupling imparting multiplicative bias to the injection/tail channels (ψ_inj/ψ_tail); STG drives directional drifts in tail slope and crossover temperature; TBN sets noise floors for tail fraction and slip; Coherence Window/RL bound the minimal achievable τ_rel and ΔE_a under strong drive; Topology/Recon reshape the Knudsen layer via microstructure networks, co-modulating K_s/J_s and G_k.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Tail fraction: F_tail ≡ ∫_{v>v_c} f(v) dv with v_c ≈ (2.5–3.0) v_th.
Shape parameters: κ (kappa) or q (nonextensive).
Rate gain: G_k ≡ k_meas/k_MB and effective activation shift ΔE_a.
Tail slope & crossover: p_tail(E) = d ln f(E)/d ln E; T_x is the intersection of MB and measured curves.
Near-wall corrections: K_s (Knudsen factor), J_s (slip flux).
Dynamics: τ_rel (relaxation time), J_ret (return-threshold flux).

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

Observable axis: F_tail, κ/q, G_k, ΔE_a, p_tail, T_x, K_s, J_s, τ_rel, J_ret, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights on ψ_inj/ψ_tail/ψ_interface).
Path & measure: particle flux propagates along path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/collision bookkeeping via ∫ (m v^2/2) dn and ∫ ν(v) f dv; all formulas are plain text in SI units.

Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)

Tail fraction rises, and p_tail becomes shallower with stronger injection/shear;
G_k positively covaries with F_tail while ΔE_a shifts negative;
Near-wall K_s>1 indicates enhanced slip; τ_rel decreases slightly with higher environmental noise.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: F_tail = F0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_tail − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
S02: κ^{-1} ≈ κ0^{-1} + a1·k_STG·G_env − a2·η_Damp·(v/v_th), q − 1 ≈ q0 − 1 + a1'·k_STG·G_env
S03: G_k ≈ 1 + b1·F_tail − b2·ΔE_a/(k_B T), ΔE_a ≈ c1·zeta_topo − c2·θ_Coh
S04: K_s ≈ 1 + d1·γ_Path·J_Path + d2·k_SC·ψ_inj − d3·k_TBN·σ_env, J_s ≈ J0 · K_s
S05: τ_rel^{-1} ≈ τ0^{-1} + e1·k_SC·ψ_tail + e2·γ_Path·J_Path, J_ret ≈ r · J_s

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC amplifies tail-channel population and near-wall slip.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG drives drifts in κ/q, p_tail, T_x; k_TBN sets noise floors in tail fraction and K_s.
P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL: bound minimum τ_rel and ΔE_a; xi_RL caps strong-drive regimes.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: via zeta_topo, interface/microstructure alters activation pathways, co-modulating ΔE_a and G_k.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously captures the co-evolution of F_tail, κ/q, G_k, ΔE_a, p_tail, T_x, K_s/J_s, τ_rel/J_ret, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for injection/shear/surface engineering and near-wall transport window optimization.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_inj/ψ_tail/ψ_interface/ζ_topo disentangle injection, tail, and interface contributions.
Engineering usability: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path with surface microstructure tuning stabilizes tail fraction and reduces uncertainty in activation shifts.

Blind Spots

Under strong nonlocal collisions and strong shear, generalized Fokker–Planck with fractional scattering kernels may be required;
In very low-pressure/high-Kn limits, K_s and F_tail may mix with effusive beam components—angle-resolved TOF is needed for demixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D maps: scan T×J and Kn×J to chart F_tail, G_k, K_s;
- Surface engineering: tune roughness/porosity/coatings to quantify elasticity of zeta_topo on ΔE_a, K_s;
- Synchronized acquisition: TOF + LIF + rate/near-wall flux to hard-link G_k with F_tail;
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env, calibrating TBN impacts on τ_rel and p_tail.
