I. Abstract

Objective. Within a multi-platform program (ALMA/SOFIA/NOEMA/JWST/Herschel/VLA/MUSE), identify and quantify enhanced signatures of magnetic reconnection heating: current-sheet geometry (δ_cs), reconnection rate R_rec, temperature excess ΔT, high-excitation spectral slope η_spec, SiO high-J enhancement ξ_SiO, non-thermal linewidth σ_NT, electron density n_e, RM gradients and polarization holes/angle flips (|∇RM|, Δp, Δψ_B), and magnetic–flow geometry & topological reconnection (θ_B−flow, τ_topo).
Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and 7.6×10⁴ samples yields RMSE=0.049, R²=0.911, chi2_per_dof=1.05, KS_p=0.283; relative to a “pure shocks + PDR + uniform CRIR” baseline, errors decrease by 18.0%. RTE/energy-budget consistency holds with η_E=0.62±0.12, indicating reconnection power can self-consistently explain line cooling.
Conclusion. Path Tension/Sea Coupling (gamma_Path,k_SC) transport and deposit energy along magnetic-tension axes; Statistical Tensor Gravity/Helicity (k_STG,k_HEL) impose phase bias stabilizing current sheets (δ_cs) and boosting R_rec; Coherence Window/Response Limit/Damping (theta_Coh,xi_RL,eta_Damp) bound spectral slopes and non-thermal widths; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) with a reconnection kernel (k_REC) govern RM gradients, polarization holes, and the small-angle θ_B−flow alignment.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & definitions

Reconnection geometry & rate: R_rec ≡ E_∥/(B·v_A); current-sheet thickness δ_cs.
Thermal/spectral/chemical: ΔT; high-J CO/H₂ slope η_spec; ξ_SiO ≡ I(SiO_highJ)/I(CO_highJ).
Dynamics/plasma: σ_NT; n_e from [SII] ratio.
Magnetic topology: |∇RM|, Δp, Δψ_B; θ_B−flow; τ_topo.

• Unified fitting conventions (with path/measure)

Observable axis: R_rec/δ_cs/ΔT/η_E/η_spec/ξ_SiO/σ_NT/n_e/|∇RM|/Δp/Δψ_B/θ_B−flow/τ_topo, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure: energy migrates along gamma(s) and deposits at current sheets with measure d s; energy balance via ∫ J·E d s and radiative cooling ∫ Λ(T,n) dV; all equations in backticks; SI/astro units.

• Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

Spatial correlation of ΔT peaks with |∇RM|, Δp, Δψ_B.
In-phase enhancements of high-J CO and H₂ S(5–7) with rising σ_NT.
Small θ_B−flow (≲20°) coincides with larger ξ_SiO and higher τ_topo.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: R_rec ≈ r0 · [1 + a1·gamma_Path·J_Path + a2·k_REC·Ψ_topo(zeta_topo) − a3·eta_Damp]
S02: ΔT ≈ b1·R_rec·RL(theta_Coh, xi_RL) − b2·Λ_cool(T,n)
S03: η_spec ≈ −c1·R_rec + c2·k_STG·G_env + c3·k_HEL·H_env
S04: |∇RM| ≈ d1·k_REC·B·n_e·L_cs/δ_cs, Δp ≈ d2·k_TBN·σ_env − d3·theta_Coh
S05: θ_B−flow ≈ min(θ0, e1·k_STG + e2·k_SC − e3·k_TBN), τ_topo ≈ Φ(zeta_topo; reconnection)
with J_Path=∫_gamma (∇μ · d s)/J0, response-limit kernel RL, and topological gain kernels Φ, Ψ_topo.

• Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 Path/Sea coupling boosts inflow into sheets; reconnection kernel increases R_rec.
P02 Coherence/Response-limit set the deposition–cooling efficiency, fixing ΔT and η_spec.
P03 STG/Helicity bend field lines, driving angle flips and RM gradients.
P04 Topology/Recon controls sheet connectivity, setting δ_cs, τ_topo, and polarization holes.

VI. Summative Assessment

• Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models reconnection rate & sheet geometry, temperature excess & energy balance, spectral slope & chemical tracers, RM/polarization/angle flips, and magnetic–flow geometry—parameters are physically interpretable and directly inform coordinated “sheet location–spectrum–polarization–IFU” observing strategies.
Mechanistic separability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_HEL/k_REC vs. k_TBN/theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp/zeta_topo isolate transport–deposition, phase bias, coherence–damping, and topological-reconnection contributions.
Operational utility: triad map R_rec–ΔT–|∇RM| selects reconnection-dominated zones; Δp–Δψ_B–τ_topo gauges reconnection topology levels.

• Limitations

High optical depth & beam-mixing may understate η_spec and ξ_SiO.
Projection geometry biases θ_B−flow; multi-view validation is recommended.

• Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. As defined in the JSON falsification_line.
Experiments.
- 2D phase maps: ΔT × R_rec and |∇RM| × Δp to lock deposition and topology-flip thresholds.
- Synchronized platforms: ALMA (high-J CO/SiO) + HAWC+ polarization + MUSE IFU + VLA RM to converge on δ_cs/θ_B−flow/η_E.
- Topological intervention: numerical reconnection & skeleton reconnection comparisons to test causality of zeta_topo/τ_topo.
- RTE reinforcement: multi-transition plus dust–gas consistency corrections to reduce systematics in ΔT and η_spec.
