I. Abstract

• Objective. For parallel growth enhancement of multiple protostellar seeds sharing common filamentary feeds/skeletons, we jointly model ALMA line/continuum, dense-core tracers, NIR IFS, polarimetry, and proper motions. Unified targets: G_par, C_Ṁ/ρ_Ṁ, Δα_M/χ_q, L_coh/J_Path, f_mult/P(a), κ_fb/θ_align, Δ_SFR/k_peak. Acronym locking 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 11 sources, 59 conditions, and 6.7×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting yields RMSE=0.044, R²=0.913, improving error by 18.5% vs. mainstream (competitive accretion + turbulent core + feedback modulation). We obtain G_par=1.34±0.12, ρ_Ṁ=0.46±0.09, Δα_M=−0.18±0.06, χ_q=0.27±0.07, L_coh=3.1±0.6 kAU, f_mult(≤500 AU)=0.58±0.08, κ_fb=0.41±0.09, θ_align=12.8°±3.0°, Δ_SFR=+0.07±0.03, k_peak=(1.7±0.3)×10^-3 AU^-1.
• Conclusion. Parallel enhancement arises from Path Tension + Sea Coupling phase-locking and flux reallocation along skeleton feeds; STG injects low-k cooperative coherence, TBN sets covariance floors and thresholds; the Coherence Window/Response Limit bound L_coh, ρ_Ṁ, f_mult; Topology/Reconstruction controls branching/merging geometry and co-evolution of mass-spectrum slope.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Synergy gain: G_par≡⟨Ṁ_multi/ΣṀ_single⟩.
• Accretion covariation: C_Ṁ, ρ_Ṁ; mass-spectrum shift Δα_M; mass-ratio convergence χ_q.
• Feed coherence: L_coh, path flux J_Path.
• Multiplicity & separation: f_mult(≤a), P(a), mean separation ⟨a⟩.
• Feedback–accretion locking: κ_fb, alignment angle θ_align.
• Global indicators: Δ_SFR, low-k feed peak k_peak.

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

• Observable axis: G_par, C_Ṁ/ρ_Ṁ, Δα_M/χ_q, L_coh/J_Path, f_mult/P(a), κ_fb/θ_align, Δ_SFR/k_peak, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure statement: mass/momentum transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ. All equations in backticks; SI units used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

• Low-k feed peaks co-locate with multi-seed nodes; ρ_Ṁ increases with L_coh.
• f_mult is elevated within ≤500 AU; κ_fb and θ_align indicate modest outflow–disk misalignment.
• Δα_M<0 shows relative enrichment at high masses, while χ_q hints at mass-ratio convergence.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: G_par ≈ G0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_parallel − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
• S02: ρ_Ṁ ≈ r0·θ_Coh·(1 − eta_Damp) + a1·k_STG·G_env; C_Ṁ ≈ ρ_Ṁ·σ_Ṁ^2
• S03: Δα_M ≈ −b1·k_SC + b2·zeta_topo − b3·eta_Damp; χ_q ≈ c1·ψ_parallel − c2·xi_RL
• S04: L_coh ≈ L0 · (1 + d1·θ_Coh + d2·k_STG) · (1 + d3·xi_RL)^{-1}
• S05: κ_fb ≈ e1·beta_TPR·ψ_inflow − e2·eta_Damp; θ_align ≈ f1·k_STG·G_env − f2·eta_Damp; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC boost transport efficiency on shared skeletons, raising G_par and ρ_Ṁ.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG seeds low-k coherence and elevates covariance; TBN sets cooperative thresholds and noise floors.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response limits: bound reachable L_coh, χ_q, θ_align.
• P04 · TPR/Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo sculpts branching/merging networks, shaping Δα_M and the separation spectrum P(a).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures G_par, ρ_Ṁ/Δα_M/χ_q, L_coh/J_Path, f_mult/P(a), κ_fb/θ_align, Δ_SFR/k_peak with physically interpretable parameters, enabling actionable shaping of skeleton feeds and parallel-growth strategies.
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_inflow/ψ_parallel disentangle path locking, threshold noise, and topological reconstruction.
3. Operational utility: online estimates of J_Path and L_coh with TPR-based calibration can raise G_par, stabilize ρ_Ṁ, and tune multiplicity and separation spectra.

Blind Spots

1. Strong external tides or irradiation require non-Markovian memory kernels and nonlocal radiative feedback.
2. In crowded clusters, N-body entanglement may mix with parallel geometry; joint velocity–density decomposition and finer angular resolution are needed.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D maps: overlay (r, k_peak) and (r, ρ_Ṁ) with L_coh contours to separate cooperative bands from background accretion;
   • Skeleton engineering: tune branching/merging angles and channel widths to scan ζ_topo impacts on Δα_M and P(a);
   • Synchronous platforms: ALMA + N2H+/NH3 + NIR IFS to lock down hard links among κ_fb–θ_align–ρ_Ṁ;
   • Environmental control: isolate σ_env, δΦ_ext and calibrate TBN effects on covariance and low-k peaks.

• Index dictionary: G_par, C_Ṁ/ρ_Ṁ, Δα_M, χ_q, L_coh, J_Path, f_mult, P(a), κ_fb, θ_align, Δ_SFR, k_peak (see Section II). SI units: mass M_⊙, rates M_⊙ yr^-1, length AU/kAU, angle °.
• Processing: multi-source decomposition & accretion inversion; skeleton extraction & low-k peak estimation; robust covariance with HAC windows; error propagation (total_least_squares + errors-in-variables); hierarchical Bayes sharing across source/segment/environment layers.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Layer robustness: L_coh↑ → ρ_Ṁ rises while KS_p falls; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% channel drift → θ_Coh and ψ_parallel increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior shifts < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.047; adding blind skeleton segments maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
