I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint framework of ALMA continuum/molecular gas, NIR scattered light, polarimetry, and time-domain monitoring, identify and fit broken-ring anomalies in disks: originally contiguous dust/gas rings develop multiple breaks and geometric migration with systematic changes in spectral index and shear alignment. Unified targets: 𝓡/𝓕, N_br/P(Δs), (r_b,w_b), v_mig, A_ring/A_α, θ_align, Z_enh, Δv_r, Δ_SFR, k_peak. First-use acronym locking: 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, 55 conditions, and 6.4×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fits yield RMSE=0.042, R²=0.919, a 19.0% improvement vs. mainstream combinations. Posteriors: 𝓡=0.61±0.08 (𝓕=0.39±0.08), N_br=5.2±1.3, ⟨Δs⟩=47°±11°, r_b=48.5±7.2 kAU, w_b=6.1±1.4 kAU, v_mig=-3.4±1.1 m s^-1, A_ring=24%±6%, A_α=17%±5%, θ_align=10.2°±2.5°, Z_enh=2.3±0.5, Δv_r=-0.7±0.3 km s^-1, Δ_SFR=-0.09±0.04, k_peak=(2.1±0.4)×10^-3 AU^-1.
• Conclusion. Fragmentation is driven by Path Tension and Sea Coupling phase-locking and flux redistribution at ring–shear interfaces; STG injects low-k coherence while TBN sets break thresholds and tails; the Coherence Window/Response Limit bound w_b, v_mig, k_peak; Topology/Reconstruction modulates break spacing and Z_enh peaks via skeleton/pressure-ridge networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Integrity/fragmentation: 𝓡≡L_contiguous/L_ring, 𝓕≡1−𝓡.
• Break statistics: N_br and spacing distribution P(Δs) (degrees).
• Geometry & migration: ring center/width (r_b,w_b); rate v_mig≡dr_b/dt.
• Radiative metrics: brightness fluctuation A_ring, spectral-index fluctuation A_α, alignment θ_align.
• Two-phase coupling: Z_enh≡Z/Z_bg, radial slip Δv_r.
• SFR & spectral peak: Δ_SFR, low-k ring peak k_peak.

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

• Observable axis: 𝓡/𝓕, N_br/P(Δs), (r_b,w_b), v_mig, A_ring/A_α, θ_align, Z_enh, Δv_r, Δ_SFR, k_peak, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure statement: transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ. All equations in backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

• k_peak co-locates with break clusters; θ_align minimizes where shear is strongest.
• Z_enh covaries with A_ring; more negative Δv_r corresponds to higher fragmentation.
• Migration rate v_mig is stably negative across seasons, indicating net inward drift.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: 𝓕 ≈ F0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_ring − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
• S02: N_br ≈ N0 · (k_STG·G_env + zeta_topo) · (1 − eta_Damp); P(Δs) ∝ exp[−Δs/Δs0(θ_Coh)]
• S03: v_mig ≈ −v0 · (θ_Coh − θ*) + c1·beta_TPR·ψ_slip − c2·xi_RL
• S04: A_ring, A_α ≈ a1·ψ_ring + a2·k_STG − a3·eta_Damp; θ_align ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env − b2·η_Damp
• S05: Z_enh ≈ Z0 · exp[−(r−r_b)^2/(2 w_b^2)] · (k_STG + zeta_topo); Δv_r ≈ −d1·θ_Coh + d2·beta_TPR·ψ_slip; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC enhance phase locking and energy injection at ring–shear interfaces, boosting fragmentation and break density.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG strengthens low-k coherence (raising k_peak); TBN sets break thresholds and tail thickness.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response limits: constrain v_mig, w_b and the scale of P(Δs).
• P04 · TPR/Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo sculpts skeleton/pressure ridges controlling Z_enh peaks and break spacing.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously captures the co-evolution of 𝓡/𝓕, N_br/P(Δs), (r_b,w_b)/v_mig, A_ring/A_α/θ_align, Z_enh/Δv_r, Δ_SFR/k_peak with physically interpretable parameters, guiding ring–shear coupling and thin-band engineering.
2. Mechanistic separability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_ring/ψ_slip distinguish phase locking, threshold noise, and skeleton reconstruction.
3. Operational utility: online J_Path estimation and environmental noise suppression can curb undesired fragmentation, control v_mig and w_b, and stabilize the SFR ceiling.

Blind Spots

1. Strong tidal/irradiated outer disks may require non-Markovian memory kernels and nonlocal radiative feedback.
2. With multi-ring coupling, P(Δs) and k_peak can mix with stripe/vortex rings; joint density–velocity decomposition is advised.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D maps: overlay (r, k_peak) and (r, 𝓕) with w_b contours to separate fragmentation bands from background rings;
   • Skeleton/pressure-ridge engineering: adjust ring/stripe skeletons and dust–gas fractionation to scan ζ_topo impacts on P(Δs) and Z_enh;
   • Synchronous platforms: ALMA + NIR scattering + polarimetry to validate hard links among θ_align, k_peak and Δv_r, Z_enh;
   • Environmental control: isolate σ_env, δΦ_ext and calibrate TBN effects on N_br and A_ring/A_α.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Layer robustness: σ_env↑ → 𝓕 rises, KS_p falls; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% calibration drift → θ_Coh and ψ_ring 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 radial bands maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
