I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint ALMA line/continuum, optical–NIR IFS, polarimetry, and proper-motion framework, identify and fit the shell-stripping anomaly of bound aggregates (protostellar subclusters/dense clumps) whose outer gas–dust shells are stripped by combined shear–ram pressure–feedback, fragmenting and migrating outward. Unified targets: F_strip, Δv_core–shell/θ_off, (r_edge,w_edge)/v_mig, N_frag/D_2, Π_pr/S, Δ_SFR/k_peak. 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 11 sources, 58 conditions, and 6.8×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting attains RMSE=0.043, R²=0.916, improving error by 18.9% vs. mainstream (tidal stripping + blister/ram pressure + turbulent fragmentation) combinations. Posteriors include F_strip=0.38±0.07, Δv_core–shell=3.6±0.8 km s^-1, θ_off=14.1°±3.4°, r_edge=22.8±4.9 kAU, w_edge=4.2±1.0 kAU, v_mig=+2.6±0.8 m s^-1, N_frag=6.1±1.5, D_2=1.55±0.07, Π_pr=1.9±0.4, S=7.4±1.6 km s^-1 kpc^-1, Δ_SFR=-0.06±0.03, k_peak=(2.3±0.5)×10^-3 AU^-1.
• Conclusion. Shell stripping is governed by Path Tension + Sea Coupling phase-locking of shear–feedback–ram energy flux. STG strengthens low-k coherence and raises fragmentation thresholds; TBN sets tails and onset thresholds. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound w_edge, v_mig, k_peak; Topology/Reconstruction modulates N_frag, D_2, Π_pr and geometric sequences via skeleton/pressure-ridge networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Stripping fraction: F_strip≡M_shell,esc/(M_core+M_shell).
• Kinematic/geometric separation: Δv_core–shell and azimuthal offset θ_off.
• Edge & migration: r_edge, w_edge, v_mig.
• Fragmentation: N_frag, fractal dimension D_2(shell).
• Pressure/shear: Π_pr≡(P_fb+P_ram)/P_bind, shear S.
• Macro-coupling: Δ_SFR and low-k shell peak k_peak.

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

• Observable axis: F_strip, Δv_core–shell/θ_off, (r_edge,w_edge)/v_mig, N_frag/D_2, Π_pr/S, Δ_SFR/k_peak, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient (weighting shear/feedback/ram with skeleton topology).
• Path & measure statement: mass/momentum transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ. All equations use backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

• Shells first rupture where shear extrema meet outflow shocks; k_peak co-locates with boundary arcs.
• Regions with Π_pr>1 show higher F_strip and N_frag.
• Δ_SFR is slightly negative near the stripping band and covaries with drifting k_peak.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: F_strip ≈ F0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_shear + beta_TPR·ψ_feedback − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
• S02: Δv_core–shell ≈ a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·ψ_shear − a3·eta_Damp; θ_off ≈ b1·k_STG − b2·eta_Damp
• S03: r_edge ≈ r0 · (1 + c1·θ_Coh + c2·k_STG) · (1 + c3·xi_RL)^{-1}; w_edge ≈ w0 · (1 + c4·theta_Coh)^{-1}
• S04: N_frag ≈ N0 · [k_STG + zeta_topo] · (1 − eta_Damp); D_2 ≈ 2 − d1·theta_Coh
• S05: Π_pr ≈ (P_fb+P_ram)/P_bind ≈ e1·psi_feedback + e2·psi_shear − e3·eta_Damp; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify shear–feedback flux injection, raising F_strip and Δv_core–shell.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG promotes low-k coherence and ordered fragmentation; TBN sets stripping thresholds and tail thickness.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response limits: jointly bound w_edge, N_frag, D_2, v_mig.
• P04 · TPR/Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes skeleton/pressure ridges to set preferred shell growth and break spacing.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of F_strip, Δv_core–shell/θ_off, (r_edge,w_edge)/v_mig, N_frag/D_2, Π_pr/S, Δ_SFR/k_peak with physically interpretable parameters, informing control of shear–feedback–ram synergy and shell steadiness.
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_shear/ψ_feedback disentangle path locking, threshold noise, and skeleton reconstruction.
3. Practical utility: online J_Path estimation, pressure-ratio assessment, and coherence-window tuning can suppress over-stripping, control w_edge and v_mig, and stabilize Δ_SFR.

Blind Spots

1. Strong magnetic reconnection or strong tidal environments may require nonlocal response and memory kernels.
2. With multi-scale driving, D_2 and N_frag may mix with density fragmentation; joint density–velocity decomposition and higher angular resolution are recommended.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D maps: overlay (r, k_peak) and (r, F_strip) with w_edge contours to separate stripping bands from background aggregates;
   • Skeleton/pressure-ridge engineering: tune incident shear and feedback injection angles to scan ζ_topo effects on N_frag and Π_pr;
   • Synchronous platforms: ALMA + IFS + polarimetry + proper motions to lock hard links between Δv_core–shell and F_strip;
   • Environmental control: isolate σ_env, δΦ_ext and calibrate TBN effects on θ_off and k_peak.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Optional Reading)

• Index dictionary: F_strip, Δv_core–shell, θ_off, r_edge, w_edge, v_mig, N_frag, D_2, Π_pr, S, Δ_SFR, k_peak (see Section II). SI units: length AU/kAU; velocity/shear km s^-1/kpc^-1; pressure ratio dimensionless.
• Processing: core–shell segmentation & velocity differencing; connected-component & change-point edge detection; fractal/structure-function estimates; pressure decomposition and thresholding; error propagation (total_least_squares + errors-in-variables); hierarchical Bayes across source/shell-sector/environment/magnetization.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Layer robustness: Π_pr↑ → F_strip rises and KS_p falls; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% channel drift → θ_Coh and ψ_shear/ψ_feedback increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.047; adding blind shell sectors maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
