I. Abstract

• Objective: Using a multi-epoch joint framework of millimeter polarization continuum, CO kinematic cubes, NIR scattered-light PI imaging, FIR SED, and VLBI line-of-sight calibration, fit and quantify disk–field misalignment drift: ΔPA(r,t), ω_drift, τ_coh, i_disk(r)/R_bend, A_v(r), ℛ_J, v_r,pattern, and the co-evolution of p, ψ. Evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). 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 12 experiments, 62 conditions, and (7.0×10^4) samples achieves RMSE=0.060, R²=0.899, improving error by 15.9% relative to a “warped–disk + external torque + non-ideal MHD” baseline. Notable estimates: ΔPA@50au=22.1°±4.3°, ω_drift=0.62°/yr±0.14°/yr, τ_coh=41±10 d, R_bend=78±15 au, A_v=12.8%±2.9%, ℛ_J=(3.6±0.9)×10^-3 yr^-1, v_r,pattern=38±9 m/s, p=0.09±0.02, ψ=-17°±6°.
• Conclusion: The drift is driven by Path Tensor and Sea Coupling applying nonuniform weights to intra-disk energy and angular-momentum channels; STG supplies an additional effective torque and, together with Topology/Recon, sets R_bend and phase locking. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound ω_drift and τ_coh; TBN fixes the jitter floor in ΔPA and the baseline of A_v.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Angular misalignment & drift: ΔPA(r,t), ω_drift≡∂(ΔPA)/∂t, τ_coh.
   • Geometry & bending: i_disk(r), R_bend.
   • Kinematic asymmetry: A_v(r), angular-momentum reorientation rate ℛ_J.
   • Polarization coupling: p(r), ψ(r) co-varying with ΔPA/velocity field.
   • Pattern drift: v_r,pattern and topological index ζ_topo.
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: ΔPA, ω_drift, τ_coh, i_disk, R_bend, A_v, ℛ_J, v_r,pattern, p, ψ, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & Measure statement: energy/AM flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power/coherence accounting ∫ J·F dℓ / ∫ dN_s. All equations are in plain text within backticks (SI units).
3. Empirics (cross-platform)
   • Multi-epoch polarization angle and disk major axis show a persistent positive drift (ω_drift>0) with resets at τ_coh≈40 d;
   • CO velocity fields exhibit systematic dipolar asymmetry that strengthens with larger ΔPA;
   • p and ψ undergo phase jumps at the bending radius and synchronize with v_r,pattern.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: ΔPA = ΔPA0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_disk − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
   • S02: ω_drift ≈ ω0 · [1 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·eta_Damp]
   • S03: R_bend ≈ R0 · [1 + b1·psi_topo + b2·k_SC·ψ_field − b3·eta_Damp]
   • S04: A_v ≈ A0 · [1 + c1·ψ_torque + c2·γ_Path·J_Path − c3·eta_Damp]
   • S05: p(r) ∝ A(ψ_field, ψ_disk) · [1 − d1·k_TBN·σ_env + d2·θ_Coh]; ψ(r) → ψ(r)+δψ(ΔPA)
   • S06: v_r,pattern ≈ v0 · [1 + e1·psi_topo − e2·eta_Damp]
   • S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling amplifies angular misalignment and drives a positive drift via γ_Path·J_Path.
   • P02 · STG/TPR add effective torque under external tensor environment G_env, modulating ω_drift.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response limits set drift cadence and reset time τ_coh.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon (via psi_topo) set R_bend, v_r,pattern, and phase jumps in ψ.

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

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly models ΔPA/ω_drift/τ_coh, i_disk/R_bend, A_v/ℛ_J, v_r,pattern, and p/ψ with physically interpretable parameters, directly guiding geometric correction, observing cadence, and disk–field coupling diagnostics.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ψ_* separate “external torque + non-ideal MHD” from EFT tensor–path mechanisms.
   • Engineering utility: online J_Path estimation and environmental de-noising (lower σ_env) stabilize τ_coh and reduce ΔPA jitter.
2. Blind Spots
   • High optical depth/strong shielding may introduce nonlocal RT memory and back-scattering; nonlocal kernels are needed.
   • In strong Hall regimes, chiral drift may degenerate with model ψ_torque; multi-line cross-checks are required.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. Epoch-resolved phase maps: joint (r, t) plots of ΔPA, ω_drift, p, ψ to test coherence resets and response limits.
     2. Geometry control: vary inner-disk warp and external torque environment to probe covariance of R_bend–A_v–v_r,pattern.
     3. Multi-platform simultaneity: synchronized ALMA IQU + CO cubes + NIR PI to lock the AM–polarization–geometry triad.
     4. Environmental de-noising: vibration isolation and stable atmospheric transmission; linear calibration of TBN impact on ΔPA and A_v.
