I. Abstract

Objective. Using ALMA/IFS/polarimetry/proper-motion synergy, identify and fit microvortex clustering at outflow bow/terminal shocks and shear layers, where high-vorticity eddies appear in clusters and feed back on dust–gas coupling and the SFR efficiency ceiling. Unified targets: ω_rms, Ω, C_v, g(r), λ_v, D_2, 𝓘/μ, ∂C_v/∂ℳ, 𝓜_A, G_St, Δ_SFR. Acronyms on first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction.
Key Results. Across 10 sources, 56 conditions, and 6.4×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.043, R²=0.915, improving error by 19.1% vs. mainstream (compressible turbulence + shear/stripe + shock instabilities). Posteriors: ω_rms=0.86±0.19 s^-1, C_v=0.37±0.07, λ_v=1.9±0.4 kAU, D_2=1.62±0.08, 𝓘=1.48±0.12, μ=3.6±0.5, ∂C_v/∂ℳ=0.18±0.04, 𝓜_A=0.72±0.15, G_St=2.1±0.4, Δ_SFR=−0.08±0.03.
Conclusion. Clusters are sustained by Path Tension + Sea Coupling phase-locking of shock–shear energy injection; STG reinforces low-k coherence, TBN sets cluster scale and tail thresholds; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound λ_v, D_2, 𝓘; Topology/Reconstruction modulates g(r) and C_v, feeding back on SFR limits.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Vorticity/enstrophy: ω_rms, Ω=|∇×v|.
Clustering metrics: C_v (fraction of eddy cores in clusters), pair correlation g(r).
Geometric scales: λ_v=2π/k_peak, fractal dimension D_2.
Intermittency: structure-function ratio 𝓘 and PDF tail index μ.
Controls: sonic Mach ℳ, Alfvénic Mach 𝓜_A, Stokes parameter St.
Coupling/feedback: dust/particle clustering gain G_St, Δ_SFR.

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure statement)

Observable axis: ω_rms, C_v, g(r), λ_v, D_2, 𝓘/μ, ∂C_v/∂ℳ, 𝓜_A, G_St, Δ_SFR, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient.
Path & measure statement: flow along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ. Equations in backticks; SI units used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

Low-k vorticity peaks co-locate with bow-head and wake shear layers;
C_v rises with ℳ and plateaus near 𝓜_A≈0.7;
St≈1 regions’ G_St peaks align with cluster cores; Δ_SFR is mildly negative.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: ω_rms ≈ ω0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_shock − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
S02: C_v ≈ C0 · [k_STG·G_env + zeta_topo] · (1 − eta_Damp) · f(θ_Coh)
S03: λ_v ≈ λ0 · (1 + c1·θ_Coh + c2·xi_RL)^{-1}, D_2 ≈ 2 − c3·θ_Coh
S04: 𝓘 ≈ 1 + d1·k_STG − d2·eta_Damp, μ ≈ μ0 + d3·k_TBN·σ_env
S05: G_St ≈ g0 · exp[−(St−1)^2/(2σ_St^2)] · (1 + beta_TPR·ψ_ker); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify vorticity injection and cluster cohesion at shock–shear interfaces.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG promotes low-k coherence and cluster persistence; TBN sets tail thickness and thresholds.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response limits: jointly bound λ_v, D_2, 𝓘; xi_RL sets minimum spacing.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes stripe/skeleton networks, modulating g(r) and shaping G_St.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of ω_rms/C_v/g(r)/λ_v/D_2/𝓘/μ/∂C_v/∂ℳ/𝓜_A/G_St/Δ_SFR with physically interpretable, tunable parameters.
Mechanistic separability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_shock/ψ_ker disentangle shock injection, shear nucleation, and skeleton reconstruction.
Practical outlook: online J_Path estimation and environmental noise suppression can widen stable cluster bands, leverage G_St, and damp Δ_SFR variability.

Blind Spots

Strong reconnection or large-scale tidal forcing may require nonlocal response and memory kernels.
With multi-scale driving, D_2 and 𝓘 can mix with density fragmentation; joint density–velocity decomposition is advised.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D maps: overlay (r, k_peak) and (r, C_v) with λ_v contours to separate cluster bands from background turbulence;
- Skeleton engineering: adjust stripe/ring skeletons and shock incidence angles to scan ζ_topo effects on g(r) and λ_v;
- Synchronous platforms: ALMA + SiO/H2 + IFS for hard links between ω_rms and C_v;
- Environmental control: isolate σ_env, δΦ_ext and calibrate TBN impacts on μ and 𝓘.

Index dictionary: ω_rms, C_v, g(r), λ_v, D_2, 𝓘, μ, ∂C_v/∂ℳ, 𝓜_A, G_St, Δ_SFR (see Section II). SI units (length kAU, velocity km s^-1, frequency Hz).
Processing: vorticity reconstruction & peak detection; DBSCAN eddy-core identification; structure-function and PDF-tail fitting; error propagation (total_least_squares + errors-in-variables); hierarchical Bayes across source/band/environment/magnetization.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuations < 10%.
Layer robustness: σ_env↑ → C_v rises and KS_p falls; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: +5% low-frequency channel drift → θ_Coh and ψ_shock increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; adding blind cluster bands maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
