I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of near-infrared scattered-light imaging, ALMA continuum and polarization, molecular-line cubes, and thermal-IR mosaics, identify and fit self-shadowing stripe angle sequences, contrast, spiral mode, and temporal coherence. Evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT) for stripe anomalies in disk–envelope structures. First-use term locking: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon(struction).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 11 experiments, 58 conditions, and 7.2×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.062, R²=0.894; error is reduced by 15.6% versus a radiative-transfer + RHD/MHD baseline. Observables include Δφ_step=17.4°±3.1°, C_strip=0.28±0.05, m=1.9±0.4, v_r=0.18±0.05 km/s, p@NIR=0.14±0.03, ω_shad=1.7×10^-3 s^-1, τ_coh=34±9 min.
• Conclusion: Near-equal angular spacing and drift arise from Path Tensor and Sea Coupling jointly modulating disk warp/clumping and magnetic orientation; STG imparts azimuthal phase asymmetry, TBN sets contrast jitter; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the timescales; Topology/Recon reshapes spiral modes and coherence time via defect–filament networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Stripe angles & spacing: {φ_n}, Δφ_step.
   • Stripe contrast: C_strip ≡ (I_max − I_min)/(I_max + I_min).
   • Spiral mode & radial drift: m, v_r(φ).
   • Polarization & orientation: p(φ,r), ψ(φ,r).
   • Temporal: ω_shad, τ_coh.
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: Δφ_step, C_strip, m, v_r, p, ψ, ω_shad, τ_coh, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & Measure: energy flow along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting ∫ J·F dℓ and coherence accounting ∫ dN_s. All formulae are written in plain text within backticks.
3. Empirics (cross-platform)
   • NIR stripes show near-equal angular spacing with slow temporal drift;
   • ALMA continuum exhibits radius-dependent contrast reversal and polarization-angle jumps;
   • Molecular-line velocity gradients offset stripe phase, indicating coexisting shadowing and geometric warp.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: C_strip = C0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_disk − k_TBN·σ_env − k_mix·ψ_clump] · Φ_warp(ψ_warp, θ_Coh)
   • S02: φ_n ≈ φ_0 + n·Δφ_step + δφ(t); ω_shad ≈ ∂φ/∂t
   • S03: m ≈ m0 · [1 + a1·ψ_disk + a2·zeta_topo − a3·eta_Damp]
   • S04: p(φ,r) ∝ A(ψ_Bfield, ψ_disk) · [1 − c1·k_TBN·σ_env + c2·θ_Coh]
   • S05: v_r ≈ v0 · [1 + b1·gamma_Path·J_Path − b2·eta_Damp]; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC amplifies contrast and sets near-equal spacing.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: STG biases phase; TBN fixes contrast jitter floor.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response limits: bound ω_shad and τ_coh.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo reshapes m and polarization structure with ψ_Bfield.

• 3) Difference Ranking (EFT − Mainstream, descending)

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models Δφ_step, C_strip, m, v_r, p, ψ, ω_shad, τ_coh with physically meaningful parameters, directly informing warp correction, clump shaping, and observing cadence.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ψ_* / ζ_topo disentangle geometric self-shadowing from medium/magnetic-driven phase bias.
   • Engineering utility: online estimation of J_Path and environmental noise control (σ_env) enhance detectability and stabilize τ_coh.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under high optical depth and self-heating, nonlocal radiative memory kernels are required for back-scattering and nonlinearity.
   • In strongly magnetized textures, polarization angle may couple to foreground warps; multi-band angle-resolved calibration is needed.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. 2-D maps: epoch-resolved (r, φ) diagrams for C_strip, ω_shad, τ_coh.
     2. Geometry control: vary inner-disk warp and dust size distribution to test the stability of Δφ_step.
     3. Multi-platform simultaneity: synchronized NIR + ALMA + molecular-line observations to lock phase–velocity linkage.
     4. Environmental de-noising: vibration isolation and stable atmospheric transmission to reduce σ_env; linear calibration of TBN impact on contrast.
